In Georgia, it is a felony to manufacture controlled substances such as cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, LSD and other synthetic drugs. Cultivation of marijuana, even small amounts grown for personal use, is a felony.

A drug manufacturing charge can bring on severe criminal penalties that impact the convict’s life. Such a charge can be made for individuals who are found to be:

• Fully indulging in the manufacturing of prohibited drugs or controlled substances
• Partly involved in the manufacturing process
• Possess some or all components or chemicals used in the manufacture of prohibited drugs

Meth, or methamphetamine labs are often the target of drug manufacturing charges whether legitimate or not. Drug manufacturing and cultivation premises are sometimes tracked by police through energy usage when it is seen to be abnormally high. Even if you are not involved in the manufacture of any drug, you may find yourself in legal trouble if the property you are renting is being used for drug manufacturing.
