Common Types Of Drugs Involved In Drug Crimes

When it comes to drug crimes, the charges can stem from a wide variety of substances. These can include illicit street drugs or prescription drugs that you are not authorized to obtain or use, as well as precursor chemicals that may be utilized in the manufacturing of drugs.

Some of the most common substances are marijuana, cocaine, crack, heroin, ecstasy, and LSD. GHB, ketamine, and methamphetamines are also frequently cited in drug crime cases. Additionally, in recent years, people have been increasingly abusing prescription drugs such as Vicodin, oxycodone, hydrocodone, codeine, and oxycontin.

Drug charges can come in varying degrees of severity, with the latter depending on the type of substance and the total amount seized.

Common Penalties For Drug Possession

It is a first-degree felony to possess more than 10 grams of drugs such as heroin or LSD. A conviction could land you in jail for up to 30 years and can include a $10,000 fine. On the other hand, possession of more than 10 grams of drugs such as cocaine, opium, morphine, and anabolic steroids is considered a third-degree felony, which carries penalties of up to five years in prison and fines of up to $5,000.

Having up to 20 grams of marijuana is a first-degree misdemeanor. It carries a fine of up to $1,000 and a maximum one-year sentence. If you have more than 20 grams of marijuana, the charge will be upgraded to a third-degree felony.

In some extreme situations, the sentence could be life in prison with no possibility of parole.
