Chapter 152 of the Minnesota statutes governs drug charges. The penalties associated with various drug offenses depend upon the substance at issue, the use of the substance and the volume of the substance. At the Brown Law Offices, P.A. we handle all types of drug crimes including:

  • First Degree Controlled Substance;
  • Second Degree Controlled Substance;
  • Third Degree Controlled Substance;
  • Fourth Degree Controlled Substance;
  • Fifth Degree Controlled Substance;
  • Importing Controlled Substances;
  • Possession of Substances With Intent to Manufacture Methamphetamine;
  • Possession of Drug Paraphernalia;
  • Simulated Controlled Substances;
  • Anhydrous Ammonia Prohibited Conduct; and 
  • Methamphetamine Crimes Involving Children & Vulnerable Adults

Drug courts are found in many counties throughout Minnesota. A drug court is a special court that handles cases involving non-violent drug offenders, using alternative means of sentencing geared toward rehabilitation – rather than strictly focused on punishment. The underlying premise is that drug use is not simply a law enforcement, or criminal justice, problem, but a public health problem, with roots deep in society. 

Drug courts use a problem-solving approach that uses the power of the court in collaboration with other participants (prosecutors, defense counsel, treatment providers, probation officers, law enforcement, educational and vocational experts, community leaders and others) to closely monitor the defendant’s progress toward sobriety, and recovery, through ongoing treatment, frequent drug testing, regular mandatory check-in court appearances, and the use of a range of immediate sanctions and incentives to foster behavior change. Drug courts are found in many, but not all, counties across Minnesota.
