Drug Schedules and Possible Penalties
In Colorado, controlled substances are categorized into five schedules, from Schedule I to V. Attorney Annie Le Fleur of Le Fleur Law LLC in Grand Junction, Colorado, has extensive knowledge of each schedule and the associated legal implications:
Schedule I drugs, such as heroin, MDMA, LSD, mescaline, and psilocybin, are considered the most dangerous and highly addictive.
Schedule II drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl, have a high potential for abuse but may have accepted medical uses.
Schedule III drugs like anabolic steroids and ketamine have a lower potential for abuse and may also have medical applications.
Schedule IV drugs such as Xanax and Valium are considered to have a low potential for abuse but can still lead to psychological or physical dependence.
Schedule V drugs, like certain cough suppressants and therapeutic medicines with low doses of narcotics, are viewed as the least dangerous and addictive.
The penalties for drug possession in Colorado depend heavily on the type and amount of drugs involved.
Possession of synthetic cannabinoid or salvia divinorum, or more than two ounces and up to six ounces of marijuana, falls under Level 2 Drug Misdemeanors. More severe cases, like possession of a Schedule III, IV, or V drug, or more than four grams of a Schedule I or II drug, are classified as Level 1 Drug Misdemeanors.
Higher-level offenses, such as possession of flunitrazepam, ketamine, or more than four grams of a Schedule I or II drug, are classified as Level 4 Drug Felonies. Enhanced felony penalties apply for possession offenses involving substances with high percentages of fentanyl, carfentanil, or benzimidazole opiate, or possession offenses involving a deadly weapon.
