Penalties for Drug Distribution in Colorado
Colorado takes the sale and distribution of any type of illegal drugs very seriously, even for marijuana. The possible penalties that come with a distribution conviction can vary widely based on the type of drug involved and the quantity of drugs. Depending on the specific allegations against you, drug trafficking can result in the following types of charges and potential penalties:
- Class 1 Drug Misdemeanor – 6 to 18 months imprisonment, fines up to $5,000
- Class 3 Drug Felony – 2 to 6 years imprisonment, fines up to $500,000
- Class 2 Drug Felony – 4 to 16 years imprisonment, fines up to $750,000
- Class 1 Drug Felony – 8 to 32 years imprisonment, fines up to $1 million
The above maximum sentences can become even more serious based on other factors, including any prior drug convictions on your record or whether the drugs were distributed near a school or similar location.

Colorado Springs Drug Trafficking Defense Lawyer
“Trafficking” refers to the act of transferring and moving large amounts of illegal drugs in order to distribute them, often across state lines. If you are suspected of being involved in any drug trafficking scheme, you may face serious charges for drug distribution in Colorado. This is true even if you weren’t driving the car with the drugs or ever actually handling the drugs (known as drug possession), as simply being involved in the facilitation of the operation can be enough to face serious criminal allegations.

"The professionalism, guidance, and candor I’ve received from each person in this law firm has been beyond reproach."
I’m not one to have an extensive experience with law firms or lawyers and court in general. However, the professionalism, guidance, and candor I’ve received from each person in this law firm have been beyond reproach. Anytime, I mean, anytime, I’ve had a question about my case and the way forward, I was met with a friendly and constructive conversation about my case. There was never a doubt in my mind, that I made the right choice when I selected this law firm to represent me. Caryn and Stacie have been a wonderful blessing to my life and my legal proceedings. If you are looking for a no-BS law firm that has a significant reputation in the Springs area, I absolutely recommend this one. Even though I hope to not have to deal with this again, fingers crossed and every lucky charm, I’d trust this law firm with my representation to handle the hard stuff and give me ease with court proceedings. Thank you all for what you do and have done for me, my family, and my career. Bless you all.
