First Time Drug Offender Controlled Substance Defense
This case study examines how a first time drug offender in Washington D.C. faced charges for attempting to procure a Schedule II controlled substance under D.C. Code § 22-1803 (attempt liability) in combination with D.C. Code § 48-904.01 (simple possession of a controlled substance). For first time drug offender defendants in the District, an attempt to acquire a controlled substance is treated with the same statutory seriousness as possession itself, which makes it essential to analyze intent, substantial steps, and mitigating factors. In this case, the defense strategy centered on demonstrating psychological vulnerability, lack of criminal history, and the rehabilitative potential that Washington D.C. courts frequently consider when evaluating a first time drug offender. Through structured mitigation and targeted negotiations, the legal team worked to secure a resolution consistent with District sentencing practices that emphasize treatment rather than incarceration.
