California Health and Safety Code Section 11366.5

Your freedom and future are at stake.

California Health and Safety Code Section 11366.5

Under this statute, it is a misdemeanor to knowingly make available for use any place where controlled substances are being manufactured, stored, or distributed. It is a felony to knowingly make available a place for the sale of cocaine, heroin, amphetamine, methamphetamine, PCP, or LCD, where the space has been fortified to deny law enforcement entry, and the owner of the place has knowledge of the fortifications and is deriving “excessive profits” from making such a space available.

At Glew & Kim, the majority of our cases involve narcotics offenses, and we specialize in the nuances of narcotics laws, including medical marijuana, marijuana DUI , juvenile drug offenses, and federal drug offenses. We focus narcotics defense on obtaining treatment for our clients instead of incarceration.

If you or a loved one are facing charges for making available for use any place where controlled substances are being manufactured, stored, or distributed, don’t wait. Contact Glew & Kim for a free consultation regarding your case.
