Massachusetts vigorously prosecutes drug crimes. If you have been arrested for a drug crime, a conviction may result in a mandatory prison sentence, forfeiture of your money or property, loss of driver's license, or loss of a professional license. If you are not a U.S. citizen, you may be subject to deportation, denial of reentry to the United States, or denial of naturalization.
