Like so many other charges in Colorado, drug charges and the consequences of being accused of drug-related crimes vary on the offense. The Colorado courts system will treat processing, selling, manufacturing, or using controlled substances differently.
With so many nuances to drug charges, with the help of an experienced legal team or attorney, there are many ways to fight a Colorado drug charge.
A common misconception is that the use of marijuana has no limitations in Colorado. However, Colorado has legalized the possession of marijuana to individuals above the age of 21 with limited circumstances. For example, possessing over two ounces or any amount if you’re under 21 is a crime in Colorado. Of course, if you’re using it for medical reasons, you are permitted to have it on your person under age 21.
If you’re on federally owned property such as National Parks, airports, courthouses, the Veterans Administration, and post offices, you’re not allowed to possess any amount of marijuana.

I am so thankful I called Liberty Law Center. The amount of knowledge and dedication that comes from Valerie is next to none. She helped me understand the entire process. Made me feel like I was not alone. It took me 15-plus years to deal with my issue. Now as it gets resolved I have a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and I owe it all to Valerie. Mr. Beck has put together an amazing team.
Divorce is never easy and mine was not. I hired Drake Larson due to the incompetence of another attorney so I was already distraught with the entire situation. Drake assured me he would get to the facts of my case and get control of the situation and figure out the best way to a fair outcome. To make a long story short after 10 months we finally went to the Judge today. Let me assure you that Mr. Larsen was confident, well-versed, prepared, and went above and beyond my expectations. To whoever is reading this take my advice and hire Drake Larsen if you need expert representation.
I am beyond thankful for this incredible group of people, especially Bill Beck and his awesome sidekick Valerie. They’ve been with me through the (year-long) court process at every step, and have provided nothing but compassion, clarity, guidance, support, and in the end, a big victory thanks to Mr. Beck’s above-and-beyond efforts. Do yourself a massive favor and hire this team!!
Drake Larson was a wonderful Lawyer. He is very knowledgeable in his field. If he didn't know the answer to some very off the wall situations, he would research and get back to me quickly. He was very professional but also personable. He made me feel comfortable and confident in my case and I couldn't have been happier with the outcome. I highly recommend Drake.
Can't say enough about this amazing team! Both Bill and Valerie were a huge support in helping with our case and I can't thank them enough for everything they did from start to finish! Valerie is amazing with follow up and always made us feel like we could call her about anything we had questions about or needed help with. Very professional team and we highly recommend Liberty Law Center!
