San Diego Drug Offense Lawyer Defends Against Prescription Fraud Charges
California drug offense laws do not just pertain to illegal drugs. Drug charges also relate to prescription drugs, which are placed into the category of controlled substances. Illegal actions involving legally prescribed drugs can be severely penalized in this state. An individual who is facing criminal charges for the unlawful use of a prescription drug should obtain knowledgeable defense from a San Diego drug offense lawyer.
You can be charged for the following types of offenses associated with a prescription drug:
Illegal use of prescription drugs, including ingredients found in medications, can result in serious charges for the offender. Many prescription drugs are very addictive and have great potential to be abused. Unfortunately, it is common for individuals to become addicted to a drug that they were legally prescribed during recovery from an injury or surgery. Addicted patients have been known to take any measure available to obtain more of the drugs they feel they need. Doctor shopping is one illegal practice that people take to unlawfully obtain prescription drugs, and it can result in severe penalties.
Prescription Drug Abuse and Misuse
A variety of prescription drugs are used in illegal manners by more than 15 million Americans each year. Painkillers are commonly misused for illegal purposes, including recreation and abuse. Designed to ease pain, Percocet, for example, is commonly misused and often results in serious addictions. Oxycodone is the primary active ingredient in Percocet, making this drug one of the most popular prescription painkillers available. It has been a popular product in the illicit drug market.
The manufacture of controlled substances is another type of prescription drug misuse. A common example of this type of painkiller misuse is through the purchase of prescription medications that contain ephedrine. Ephedrine has the capability to increase energy levels and assist with the toning of one's body, which is why it is commonly misused by athletes. It can also be used to manufacture methamphetamine (meth). Other types of prescription painkillers can also be used for the manufacture of illegal drugs and controlled substances. Such offenses can be charged and penalized by California law enforcement.

Amazing results! I highly recommend Michael Kern!!
“Amazing results! I highly recommend Michael Kern!! This man made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. He is very communicative, extremely thorough, consistent, relentless, and has a solid rapport with the courts. I have a long felony criminal history, and came to Michael with 12 new felony charges, accompanied by 3 misdemeanors. Before meeting Michael, I was feeling defeated by the odds being stacked against me. But he gave me hope, fought hard for my freedom, and got me the exact outcome I came to him hoping to leave with. I'm a 3rd striker, and Michael was able to get my strikes struck, and get me probation! Me and my family are so grateful to him. He saved my life! Thank you Mr.Kern!!”

I don't know what I'd be doing right now.
“Choosing an attorney to represent you during one of the most stressful times of your life can be daunting. Your life might literally be in the hands of the lawyer you choose. For that reason, I'm writing this review.
Mr. Kern stood up for me in court, and absolutely embarrassed the other side. He had deep knowledge of the law. He didn't waste any time, sticking only to the relevant information. With all the calm and cool that you would hope to expect he shut down the case, and had it dismissed. Without his remarkable knowledge of the law and the natural confident presentation I don't know what I'd be doing right now. This man is good, real good. I highly recommend Mr. Kern.”
