Are You in Need of a Valencia Defense Attorney?

The penalties that you face from your drug crime depends on the schedule of drug and the type of crime you were charged with committing.

Illegal and controlled substances are divided into five schedules:

• ​Schedule One Drugs: the most addictive substances with the highest potential for abuse, and no recognized medical use such as heroine or LSD.
• Schedule Five Drugs: substances that are the least addictive with the lowest potential for abuse, and have widely recognized medical use such as Valium or Robitussin.

The various types of crimes involving controlled substances such as marijuana may include:

• Possession
• Distribution
• Cultivation
• Trafficking
