How long does a drug case take?

A Answer

It varies widely. A simple use case with a cooperative suspect may move to a prosecutor's decision within a few months. Cases involving distribution, smuggling, multiple suspects, or overseas suppliers take considerably longer. If you are detained, the statutory time limits keep the pre-indictment phase short, so the defense must act quickly.
