Although many states are moving toward the decriminalization of marijuana and other drugs, Tennessee law is still harsh on drug offenders. Even a minor offense can affect your life in many ways, including jail time, fines, and mandatory counseling programs. In addition, there are various types of drug crimes and each one has different penalties depending on factors such as the amount of drugs and the type of drugs involved.

Possession is the most common type of drug crime. Possession can refer to either drugs or the paraphernalia, such as needles, rolling papers, and bongs. A small amount of drugs may lead to a simple possession charge, while a large amount of drugs can lead to a more serious charge of possession with intent to deliver. The latter offense means stiffer penalties and may even be charged as a felony, depending on the circumstances.
We can defend all of the following:
Penalties include fines and prison time
Charged as a felony, with a penalty of up to life in prison
Similar to trafficking, but on a much smaller scale, this can result in fines of up to $250,000 and a jail sentence of up to five years
