Defense Against Criminal Charges for Ecstasy Possession
Ecstasy is an illegal hallucinogenic drug manufactured by condensing methylenedioxymethamphetamine, one of the primary active ingredients in depression medications such as Prozac. It goes by the street names of E, Adam, X or empathy.
Although it has been around for more than a decade, there has been a marked increase in the number of felony drug charges filed against people caught in possession of ecstasy.
If you are under investigation for drug crimes, or if you have already been charged with possession of ecstasy, you are facing serious consequences. Do not talk with the police or with friends or relatives until you have talked to an attorney.
Contact a drug defense attorney at the Salt Lake City law office of Greg Smith and Associates. Attorney Greg Smith is a former prosecutor who guides our legal team with intelligent, aggressive strategies that anticipate the prosecutor's case. Our team has earned a reputation for fighting aggressively to defend our clients.
The Stakes Are High — Get a Strong Defense
First offense possession of ecstasy will mean at least a third-degree felony charge that could carry a minimum sentence of three years in state prison for conviction. A second possession charge usually draws a second-degree felony charge. A third offense — or more — will result in a first-degree felony charge and a possible lifetime prison sentence.
At Greg Smith and Associates, we never forget that your future is at stake. We take all drug charges seriously, and we are prepared to build an effective case in your defense on charges such as:
- Ecstasy possession, manufacturing or trafficking
- Illegal prescriptions and forging a doctor's prescription
- Narcotics trafficking
