Penalties for Cocaine and Other Drug Possession in Colorado
Possession of marijuana, cocaine, heroin, or without a prescription for a medication, you could face consequences including:
- Suspension of your license
- Time in jail or prison
- Significant legal fines

The consequences for drug possession can range from misdemeanor to felony offenses. While felonies are more serious than misdemeanor offenses, misdemeanors can have significant punishments—especially if you have a criminal record or prior convictions on your record for drug offenses.
