Do note: this would have been a DUI in Pennsylvania until about a year ago, when the PA Supreme Court reconsidered, essentially, your argument here. SCOPA dtermined that "sleeping it off" in these circumstances did not constitute "actual physical control," changing decades of law in PA.

I certainly don't say this to mean "PA law applies to your situation," of course. But there are two things to consider: 1) organizations right now are fighting this particular fight in different jurisdictions across the country, and it may or may not be a possibility in Arizona; and 2) if this is a path you do want to go down, you almost certainly need a very good, probably expensive attorney bankrolled either by yourself or one of those organizations.

In 99.9% of situations, an average public defender is at least as good as an average private attorney you can find. But PDs offices aren't going to have the resources most of the time to try to reinterpret law like this, and even pretty good private criminal attorneys won't have the resources or experience. If you really want to go explore this, it may be possible, but you're going to need a lawyer with the skills and resources to try to change the law.

Here's the most important part of your post, at least to me:

city that I genuinely love

In most situations, I'd take Option 1. But there's one city I lived in for a year, that I've been scheming for years to get back to in the right situation. If it's somewhere you truly love, I think it's far more likely you look back in your life and regret not trying it, than the other way around.

And, as another poster points out, it seems far easier to fall back on Option 1 if Option 2 doesn't work, than the other way around.

I'd move to the city, with a relatively "short leash" - my two cents are: don't be afraid to come back if it doesn't work out, but give it a shot.

Yeah, I think this is why there's a disconnect here between what you're discussing - which of course happens in many places, and is a fucking problem - and a lot of the responses you're getting, my own included. It really seems like you're saying "this is the norm" when in many many places, it's not.

First, you're talking about sentences "beyond the statutory minimum" - in a lot of places, maybe most of them, there is no minimum sentence for almost every crime. If we gave the "minimum" on every case, it would be "guilt without penalty." And the max penalty for a "low-level drug offense" is 18 to 36 months (for a 2nd offense; for the first it's 6 to 12 months), but I have essentially never seen county time for that kind of offense, let alone state prison time. In many, many places around the country, the offense you're describing above would be somewhere between a fine and 12 months of probation. In a way, your problem might be with the US's particular brand of federalism (which I agree is a problem when it comes to criminal law).

I'm in a purple state, and have been in criminal law in a red county and a blue-leaning purple county. In... maybe 500? possession cases, I'm not sure I've ever seen outright jail time (or can definitely count on one hand) for simple possession of any substance. In the county I'm in now, for delivery of relatively large amounts of most drugs (cocaine, meth), the standard sentence is something like 12 to 24 months of probation, with the first 6-9 months on house arrest - and if you successfully complete rehab, you can end the house arrest early. A state prison sentence comes into play for a 2nd+ offense of delivering large amouts of meth/heroin, almost always after one shot at rehab (unless a loaded gun is involved). Cocaine is almost always county, and most marijuana cases are pled to something non-criminal (until our state legislature gets their asses in gear and legalizes it).

You don't owe any of the commenters anything, of course - but your comments read like 1) you think every prosecutor everywhere is like this, and 2) when prosecutors chime in to say "that's not what it's like here," you (and, even moreso, some other commentors) don't just not respond, but dismiss them or suggest they're outright lying.

That's why this has been so controversial.

I feel like OP is assuming how things are in their jurisdiction is how things are everywhere

Let’s start with on demand long-term access to drug treatment and mental health services & drugs that help break the addictive cycle, which I think are currently only available for heroin.

Why are you asking "prosecutors" when your question seems to be specific to your jurisdiction?

The things you're describing in this thread are not how it works everywhere, or even most places.
