Colorado Drug Laws

Colorado law prohibits the possession, manufacturing, and sales of controlled substances. The specific penalties for conviction depend on several factors, such as the type of drug, the amount, and the activity. For example, drug possession in small amounts is generally less serious than trafficking larger amounts. Charges may be increased to a felony with additional penalties imposed for repeat offenders.

Classifications for controlled substances in Colorado include:

  • Schedule I – Heroin and LSD
  • Schedule II – Methamphetamine, opium, and codeine
  • Schedule III – Anabolic steroids, hydrocodone, and ketamine
  • Schedule IV – Lorazepam
  • Schedule V – Buprenophine

A charge of possession with intent to distribute or trafficking is a very serious charge and a conviction will have a huge impact on your life. Contact an Edwards criminal defense lawyer as soon as possible to make sure your rights are protected.
