California Ecstasy Charges May be the Least of Your Problems
Common California ecstasy-related charges include charges for possessing ecstasy…commonly referred to as “E”, “X” and “XTC”…possessing ecstasy for sale, selling or transporting ecstasy, being under the influence of ecstasy and driving under the influence of ecstasy.
These charges are serious, make no mistake about it. Some are misdemeanors, subjecting you to jail time, and some are felonies, subjecting you to state prison time as well as substantial fines. If you are convicted of a personal possession of ecstasy charge…or are convicted of such a charge as a result of a negotiated plea bargain…you may be eligible to participate in California drug diversion in lieu of incarceration.
But none of these penalties are as serious as the physical repercussions that can result from using this drug. One of the most common side effects of ecstasy is severe dehydration or heatstroke. This is because users of ecstasy use the drug when they are dancing at raves, clubs or concerts. They dance for prolonged periods of time and fail to replenish their body fluids. As a result, the dehydration and heatstroke can lead to organ failure, comas and ultimately death.
The bottom line is that we’re here to help when it comes to defending against your California ecstasy charges. But, please, do be careful…
