If you are charged with drug charges in Pennsylvania, it is important to take the charges seriously and take appropriate action to protect your rights. Here are a few steps that you should consider taking:

1. Contact an attorney: As soon as possible after being charged, you should contact an attorney who specializes in criminal defense and has experience handling drug charges. Your attorney can advise you on your rights and the potential consequences of the charges, and can help you build a defense strategy.
2. Understand the charges against you: It is important to understand the specific charges against you and the potential penalties you may face if convicted. This will help you make informed decisions about your case.
3. Gather evidence: Your attorney will work with you to gather evidence that can be used to build your defense. This may include witness statements, medical records, and other documentation that can help to refute the prosecution’s case.
4. Consider plea bargaining: In some cases, it may be in your best interest to enter into plea bargaining negotiations with the prosecution. Your attorney can advise you on the pros and cons of doing this, and can help you negotiate a plea bargain if that is the best option for your case.
5. Prepare for trial: If your case goes to trial, your attorney will work with you to prepare for the trial and present your defense in court. This may include interviewing witnesses, preparing evidence, and developing an argument that will be presented to the jury.

It is important to note that the criminal justice system is complex and can be difficult to navigate, and it’s in your best interest to have a legal representation that could guide you through the process and help you understand your rights and options.
