Phoenix Possession of LSD Defense Attorney | AZ Defenders
Possession of Dangerous Drugs is prohibited by Arizona law per Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-3407(A)(1). Possession of LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) or acid is specifically prohibited as LSD is defined as a dangerous drug pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-3401.
Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-3407(A)(1) provides that a person shall not knowingly possess a dangerous drug.
Possessing LSD or acid in Arizona is a class four felony. A felony conviction carries with it a substantial punishment. If you are convicted of possessing LSD or acid in violation of the Possession of Dangerous Drugs statute, Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-3407, you may be sentenced to prison for between 1 year and 3.75 years. However, for most first-time offenders, Arizona’s Proposition 200 applies. If you are convicted of possessing LSD or acid in violation of the Possession of Dangerous Drugs statute, Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-3407, you may be sentenced to a term of probation of up to 4 years.
If you have prior felony convictions, a violation of the Possession of Dangerous Drugs statute, Arizona Revised Statutes § 13-3407, for possessing LSD or acid, could result in mandatory prison sentences of 2.25 years and 15 years, depending on your prior convictions and whether Proposition 200 protections apply to you.
