What You Need to Know About Drug Laws in Kansas & Missouri

Kansas and Missouri enforce strict drug possession laws, with penalties that vary based on substance type, quantity, and prior offenses. Key differences include:


Kansas:  Possession of even a small amount of illegal substances can lead to felony charges for repeat offenders, with mandatory jail time and fines.


Missouri:  First-time simple possession charges may be classified as misdemeanors, but larger quantities or intent to distribute can result in serious felony charges.


Understanding these laws is critical for building a strong defense. Gregory Abella’s dual-state practice ensures you have an attorney who knows the nuances of both systems.
