Drug Schedules and Potential Penalties

Drug penalties may vary depending on the type of drug involved, what the intended use was, and how much of was found in your possession. All controlled substances are classified using a drug schedule, or a scale that determines that drug addictiveness, medical uses, and potential for danger.

Drugs are placed on a sliding scale, with Schedule I considered to be most dangerous and Schedule V considered to be the least:

• Schedule I drugs – These have no known medical use and could include PCP, marijuana, peyote, and ecstasy.
• Schedule II drugs – Cocaine, high levels of hydrocodone, and meth are all rated as Schedule II drugs.
• Schedule II drugs – Morphine in doses higher than 50mg, but less than 100mgs and certain anabolic steroids are Schedule II.
• Schedule III drugs – Some over-the-counter medications and prescription drugs could be considered dangerous if abused; including Xanax and Valium.
• Schedule V drugs – These drugs are considered to be least addictive, but still hold potentially serious penalties if misused. Codeine and opium fall into this category.
