Drug Crime Penalties in North Carolina

State and Federal Law regulates the creation, distribution, and possession of controlled substances. Controlled substances include both illegal substance (such as heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana) and prescription drugs.

In North Carolina, controlled substances are generally organized into six categories, or schedules. For example, Schedule I includes controlled substances such as Heroin and Opiates, while Schedule VI includes Marijuana. Possession of a Schedule I Controlled Substance is a Class I Felony, whereas Possession of a Schedule VI Controlled Substance may only be a Class 3 misdemeanor.

However, as the amount of controlled substance increases, generally the seriousness of the offense increases as well. If you have been charged with a drug offense in North Carolina, you may be facing days to years in jail or prison, as well as fines up to $500,000.
