well in any criminal defense case there

are several defenses that could be

available to to a defendant it all

depends on the case itself and the facts

around in the case and what exactly a

defendant did or did not do however in

certain drug cases the fact that you are

an addict could be helped to build a

defense around you also whether or not

you were in the in the act of

Distributing drugs or simply possessing

drugs for personal use as always uh you

know first line of defense distribution

comes with you know severe consequences

whereas possession does not simple

personal possession other clear

affirmative defenses simply could be

that you’re not in possession of the

drugs maybe the drugs were found in a

vehicle that contained several other

people including yourself or a home that

where several other people reside Beyond

yourself so constructive possession or

actual possession are defenses other

defenses could be knowledge you may not

have not knowledge of the drugs perhaps

they were planted so there are several

defenses that could go to drug crimes

however they vary greatly on a

case-by-case basis
