Mebarol Offenses: What You Need to Know
Mebarol is a controlled substance that has recently become more widespread, leading to an uptick in mebarol-related offenses. As a defense attorney, it’s crucial to understand the nuances of mebarol laws and how to build an effective defense for clients facing charges. This article will provide an overview of common mebarol offenses, penalties, and defense strategies.
What is Mebarol?
First things first – what exactly is mebarol? Mebarol is a synthetic stimulant that produces effects similar to cocaine or methamphetamine. It goes by street names like “blue magic,” “zoom,” or just “meb.” Mebarol is usually a blue or white powder that can be snorted, smoked, or injected.
The drug quickly crossed over from the club scene into mainstream recreational use. As you can imagine, widespread abuse of such a potent stimulant led to serious public health and safety issues. So mebarol was classified as a Schedule II controlled substance in 2018.
Common Mebarol Offenses
Given mebarol’s status as an illegal drug, there are a few main offenses individuals may face:
- Possession – Having mebarol on your person, in your car, or elsewhere under your control. Even small amounts like a gram are enough to charge possession.
- Possession with intent to distribute – Being caught with larger quantities of mebarol that indicate plans to sell or share with others. This is a more serious felony charge versus simple possession.
- Trafficking – Smuggling large quantities of mebarol across state or national borders. Trafficking charges can result from being caught transporting kilos of the drug.
- Distribution/manufacturing – Making, selling, or sharing mebarol with others. Manufacturing mebarol involves illegally synthesizing the powder.
- DUI – Driving under the influence of mebarol. Being impaired by any controlled substance behind the wheel can lead to a DUI.
Penalties for Mebarol Offenses
The specific penalties for a mebarol offense depend on the state and circumstances. But generally, possession of even a small amount is a felony with up to 5 years in prison. Trafficking, distribution, and manufacturing are more serious felonies with penalties of 10+ years in prison.
Fines up to $250,000 may also apply. Those convicted face lifelong impact on employment and education prospects too. And a mebarol DUI usually results in revoked license, big fines, and possible jail time.
So you can see why solid legal defense is crucial if facing any charges involving this controlled substance. Don’t leave the outcome to chance.
Building a Strong Defense Against Mebarol Charges
There are various angles a skilled lawyer can pursue to start constructing a strong defense:
Question the validity of the search – If mebarol was found during a questionable search without probable cause, that can invalidate the whole case. I once defended a client where an illegal car search led to mebarol charges – which were dismissed after proving the shaky legal basis of the search.
Dispute possession – Just because mebarol was found in someone’s car or home doesn’t mean it actually belonged to them. If other people had access, it introduces reasonable doubt. I defended a client who had friends using his place to party who likely left mebarol there without his knowledge.
Challenge handling procedures – There are strict protocols for handling and testing suspect mebarol. If lapses in protocol occurred, I can challenge the reliability of the results. In one case sloppy DEA handling of evidence may have led to cross-contamination.
Argue personal use – For possession charges, arguing personal use rather than intent to distribute can significantly reduce penalties. I’ve had clients caught with small amounts of mebarol successfully argue it was for personal recreational use only.
Mitigating circumstances – Presenting mitigating factors like no prior record, positive character references, and remorse can help secure a better plea deal or reduced sentence. This is particularly effective for young, first-time offenders.
Coercion/duress – In trafficking or distribution cases, arguing your client was coerced or under duress can sometimes beat the charges. One of my clients faced severe threats from gang members and had a strong duress defense.
Negotiate plea bargains – Many mebarol cases end in plea bargains to lesser charges. An experienced lawyer can negotiate with prosecutors for deals that minimize penalties. Over half my mebarol cases conclude with favorable pleas.
So don’t lose hope if you or a loved one is facing mebarol charges. With an assertive legal strategy built on these angles, we can fight the allegations and work towards the best possible outcome given the circumstances.
