Drug Charges in Kansas

The State of Kansas prosecutes drug crimes harshly, so drug charges can incur incredibly high bail costs. 

The severity of the charges and cost of bail you might face when arrested for drug crimes depends on many factors, including: 

• The type of controlled substance and whether or not you had multiple types of substances in your possession
  
• The amount of controlled substances you had and whether or not there appeared to be an intent to distribute
  
• Past and prior drug charges and sentencing as repeat offenders receive harsher fines and penalties

Drug charges in Kansas vary widely in their penalties – from non-person misdemeanor charges to Level 4 felonies.

Misdemeanor vs. Felony

Possession of marijuana is considered a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail or up to $2,500 in fines. Second offenses can be upped to a Class A misdemeanor and subsequent convictions can be felonies.

When it comes to felony drug charges in Kansas, prior convictions are not the only cause. Possession of Schedule I and II drugs result in Level 4 felonies punishable by prison time, paying a fine of up to $100,000, or both. Learn more about drug classifications at “Is Drug Possession a Crime?”
