Attorney, I only purchased drugs and did not use them; will I be punished?

Hello. I am a drug attorney at Daeryun Law LLC.

First, in a case like yours, even though you did not use the drugs, you may face criminal punishment for the crime of drug possession.

In the case of the crime of drug possession, because even simple possession is judged to carry the possibility of leading to sale and distribution, a high level of sentence may be imposed.

Although the sentence may vary depending on the type of drug possessed, you may be subject to imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine not exceeding 100 million won.

Therefore, it is very important to respond carefully from the early stages of the investigation with the help of a drug attorney.

The facts that this is a first offense and that you did not use the drugs, as well as that psychological factors were at play, can serve as grounds for taking the circumstances into account.

In addition, a voluntary willingness to undergo treatment and an attitude of repentance can also be considered favorably at trial.

We recommend that you check the detailed factors for sentence reduction and the defense against punishment specifically through a consultation with a drug attorney.

In drug cases, because the initial response is most important, we recommend that you take legal measures within a short time.
