MDMA (methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is a controlled substance also known as ecstasy. Possession of ecstasy in California is a wobbler offense, meaning that it can be charged either a as misdemeanor or a felony depending of the circumstances and criminal history of the person being charged.

Possessing ecstasy for personal use may result in up to one year in jail or state prison if charged as a misdemeanor or 16 months and up to 3 years in prison and a $10,000 fine if charged as a felony.

Diversion may be an option. Diversion allows you to enter a conditional plea and once the diversion program is completed then the plea is set aside and no criminal record is received.

To be eligible for a diversion you must be all 6 criteria:

(1) you have no priors involving controlled substances.

(2) The offense charged did not involve a crime of violence or threatened violence

(3) There is no evidence of other violations relating to narcotics or restricted dangerous drugs

(4) Your record does not show revocation of probation or parole without completion

(5) Your record does not show that you have successfully completed or been terminated from diversion within five years prior to the alleged charge.

(6) You have no prior felony conviction within five years.


If you are facing possession with intent to sell ecstasy charges, diversion is not an option and you may face up to 3 years in jail.
