North Carolina Drug Schedules

Our legal team often defends individuals charged with offenses relating to:

  • Schedule I drugs, including heroin, Ecstasy and opiates
  • Schedule II drugs, including cocaine, hydrocodone, oxycodone
  • Schedule III drugs, including anabolic steroids
  • Schedule IV drugs, including Xanax, Rohypnol
  • Schedule V drugs, including cough meds with codeine
  • Schedule VI drugs, including marijuana, hashish

The North Carolina offense charts can range from intermediate punishments such as community service to more severe punishments carrying years of an active sentence.

Our lawyers are often able to either successfully defend your case at trial or negotiate a plea arrangement that will save months if not years from your active sentence. Do not risk your life and years on a jail or prison sentence without speaking with an experienced trial attorney who can assess the prosecution’s case and see if there are any issues. Frequently, we find that there is an issue with the traffic stop, the drug sniffing K9 unit, or even an issue with a search warrant.

Whatever your situation is, do not enter a plea without having a consultation with us to determine if it is going to be your best strategy.
