Ecstasy Charges Attorneys in Plano
Many individuals and parents aren’t familiar with MDMA (“ecstasy”) before they or a loved one is charged with an ecstasy-related drug crime. Ecstasy is usually taken in tablet form and is commonly associated with dance parties. Known for its psychedelic and euphoric effects, many ecstasy users are unaware of the potentially detrimental health consequences of using ecstasy.

Have You Been Charged With Ecstasy Possession In Plano, Texas?
Many people charged with ecstasy offenses are merely recreational users and are unaware of how seriously the state considers illegal MDMA use and proliferation. Depending upon the weight amount of pills found on your person, in your car, or at your home you could be facing over 20 years of prison time, thousands of dollars in fines, and a felony conviction on your record. This might be something to consider before taking an ecstasy tablet at a party or rave, as only one gram (about 4 pills) could land you with a 2 year minimum sentence (up to 10 years) and a fine of up to $10,000.
The punishment for simple possession of ecstasy is as follows:
| Quantity of Ecstasy | Classification | Penalty |
|---|---|---|
| Less Than 1 Gram | State Felony | 180 days to 2 years in jail. Up to a $10,000 fine. |
| 1 to 4 Grams | Third-Degree Felony | 2 to 10 years in prison. Up to a $10,000 fine. |
| 4 to 400 Grams | Second-Degree Felony | 2 to 20 years in prison. Up to a $10,000 fine. |
