If you are pulled over, and the police find drugs in your car, you will be arrested and charged with a crime. Depending on the type and amount of drugs found, you could be facing a misdemeanor or a felony charge. If convicted, you could face jail time, probation, and/or a fine.
What Types of Drugs Are Illegal?
In the United States, there are three main categories of illegal drugs:
– Narcotics: These drugs are highly addictive and include heroin, cocaine, and methamphetamine.
– Stimulants: These drugs increase alertness and include amphetamines, ecstasy, and Ritalin.
– Depressants: These drugs slow down the central nervous system and include Xanax, Valium, and GHB.
Possession of any of these drugs is a crime in most states. However, the penalties for possession vary depending on the type and amount of drug involved. For example, possession of a small amount of marijuana may only be punishable by a fine, while possessing a large amount of methamphetamine could result in a prison sentence.
