DuPage County Drug Crimes Defense Attorney

Manufacture and Delivery of a Controlled Substance in Northern Illinois

In many areas of the country, lawmakers and courts have begun to shift the focus away from punitive measures for individual drug possession and use. Some states have gone as far as decriminalizing minor possession of certain drugs while others have famously legalized recreational marijuana use. In Illinois, the debate over effective drug policies remains ongoing, but some things have remained quite clear. Those who manufacture, distribute, deliver, and sell drugs will continue to face severe penalties and long-term criminal consequences. At the Davi Law Group, we appreciate the gravity of such charges, and if you have been arrested for drug crimes, you can rely on us to help protect your rights.

Legal Counsel for Drug Manufacturing Charges

Very few give much thought to how illegal drugs are produced before being sold. While some, such as marijuana, are processed from their naturally-occurring form, others are synthesized or chemically derived from other substances. According to the law in Illinois, charges may be brought against an individual for the manufacture of a controlled substance if he or she is suspected of producing, preparing, growing, compounding, converting, extracting, synthesizing, packaging or repackaging of the substance. Prosecution and penalties will vary dependent upon the amount and the type of drug involved.

Delivery or Intent to Deliver Charges

The actual distribution of controlled substances is statutorily known as delivery and refers to the transfer or attempted transfer of a controlled substance to another, with or without payment in return. Although a sale is not necessary to constitute an illegal act, a completed sale is usually grounds to enhance “intent to deliver” to charges of “delivery of a controlled substance.” Intent to deliver charges, although more difficult to prove, are generally substantiated by the amount of drugs discovered and the manner in which they may have been prepared or stored. Both delivery and intent to deliver can be prosecuted as up to a Class X felony, carrying up to 30 years to life in prison.
