California prosecutors address drug crimes with a multi-faceted approach. They pursue charges from possession to trafficking, considering the type and quantity of drugs. Prosecutors often seek harsher penalties for large-scale operations and repeat offenders. 

They balance enforcement with rehabilitation, utilizing diversion programs for certain non-violent offenses. The goal is to reduce drug-related harm while addressing underlying addiction issues.

For Example: Health and Safety Code (H&S) 11351, H&S 11351.5, H&S 11352, H&S 11353.
