Drug possession charges are often best described as drug
addictions. While penalties for those involved in dealing
hard drugs remain stiff, often courts can be persuaded
that rehabilitation from a drug addiction is the real issue
that needs to be addressed. Attorney Andy Nolen has
successfully used this important distinction to save people
from prison, felony convictions, losing their driver's license
and importantly, break free from their addiction.

| Narcotics The poppy plant, Papaver somniferum, is the source for non-synthetic narcotics. The extract may be in liquid, solid, or powder form, although most poppy straw concentrate available commercially is a fine brownish powder. More than 500 tons of opium or equivalents in poppy straw concentrate are legally imported into the United States annually for legitimate medical use. Opium There were no legal restrictions on the importation or use of opium until the early 1900s. Today, there are state, federal, and international laws governing the production and distribution of narcotic substances. Although opium is used in the form of paregoric to treat diarrhea, most opium imported into the United States is broken down into its alkaloid constituents. These alkaloids are divided into two distinct chemical classes, phenanthrenes and isoquinolines. |
