Drug Classifications
Under North Carolina law, the charge you face depends largely on the type of illegal substance that was found in your possession. North Carolina follows the federal drug classification system that is based upon schedules:
- Schedule I – drugs that are dangerous and have a high risk of addiction or dependency and no legitimate medical use, such as LSD, ecstasy, and heroin.
- Schedule II – drugs that have a high risk of abuse but may have legitimate medical uses, such as opium, cocaine, and amphetamines.
- Schedule III – drugs that have a moderate risk for abuse, such as anabolic steroids and testosterone.
- Schedule IV – drugs that have a slight risk of dependency and very acceptable medical uses, like Valium, Xanax, and certain sedatives.
- Schedule V – substances that have a low risk of dependency, such as Tylenol with Codeine.
- Schedule VI – substances that have no medical use but a very low risk of dependency like marijuana.
