Possession With Intent Prescription Drugs in Ann Arbor Michigan

The specific penalties you will face for possessing a prescription drug with intent to sell or deliver vary based on the schedule within which the drug is placed. Ann Arbor drug scheduling is outlined below.

In order for a drug to be classified as Schedule 1 in Ann Arbor, there must be no medicinal purpose, and a high risk for abuse or physical dependence. Drugs that fit in this category include LSD, ecstasy, and peyote.

Equally serious are Schedule 2 narcotics, which do have a very limited medical purpose but are highly restricted because of the potential for abuse or dependence. Many prescription drugs fit into this category, including Oxycodone, methamphetamine, coca derivatives including cocaine, opium, morphine, methadone, and Hydrocodone.

Included in Schedule 3 are drugs that have an accepted medical use and a moderate risk for abuse or addiction. Lower potency morphine, hydrocodone with acetaminophen or aspirin, and anabolic steroids are classified as Schedule 3.

Under Schedule 4 are drugs that have a lower risk for abuse or dependency. Xanax, Valium, and Rohypnol are included here. Drugs deemed to have even less of a risk for abuse are included in Schedule 5, which can include cough syrups with ephedrine. Many of these lower level substances can even be obtained over the counter.

Contact our team now if you have been accused of possessing a large amount of any of these drugs, or if you are facing possession with intent accusations for some other reason. Our lawyers know how to protect you from the harsh penalties that will be on the line in your felony drug crime case.
