There Are Five Drug Classifications

One of the factors that will determine the penalties you face for any drug conviction is which schedule the drug was considered to be. The federal government decides this, and the schedules are:

  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.

These federal laws can directly contract with state laws, as is true of marijuana laws in California. This is one of the reasons you need an experienced drug crime attorney in Los Angeles CA.
