Choose a Drug Crime Attorney in San Juan Capistrano CA Who Can Handle All Levels of Drug Crimes

There are many different federal classifications of drug crimes, which are broken up into schedules. The closer the schedule is to one, the higher it is – and the more serious the potential penalty is. Here are the federal classifications of drug crimes:

  1. The government considers these drugs to have no “legitimate medical use,” to be highly addictive, and to be the most dangerous of all drugs. Examples include heroin, LSD, and mescaline. At a federal level, marijuana remains a Schedule I drug as well.
  2. Drugs that the government considers might have a legitimate medical use but are highly abused and very addictive, such as cocaine, opium, amphetamines, methadone, and methamphetamines.
  3. Drugs with a moderate risk of abuse/addiction, but that the government considers less dangerous, are Schedule III. Examples include ketamine, anabolic steroids, testosterone, and specific depressants.
  4. Drugs with medical use and only mildly addictive, such as clonazepam, tranquilizers, and sedatives, are Schedule IV drugs.
  5. Not highly addictive or likely to be abused, Schedule V includes Tylenol with codeine and other similar prescription drugs.

Of course, state laws are quite different. This is why you need an experienced drug crime attorney in San Juan Capistrano CA on your side.

Your Potential Penalty Will Depend Partially on the Specific Charge

The seriousness of a particular drug crime will depend on the schedule of the drug as well as the specific charge. For example, possession for personal use is likely to result in a much more lenient punishment versus a charge for drug trafficking. Some of the drug charges you can get help with include:

  • DUI of drugs
  • Drug possession
  • Possession of drug paraphernalia
  • Sale/transportation of drugs
  • Drug manufacturing
  • Prescription fraud
