Drugs are divided into classifications called "schedules." Schedule I encompasses the strong hallucinogenic drugs, such as heroin, LSD and ecstasy. Schedule II drugs include oxycodone, cocaine, and methamphetamines. Schedule III includes steroids and IV includes Phenobarbital. Drugs with low levels of codeine, and ethyl morphine fall into the Schedule V category.
Georgia penalties and punishments vary in accordance to the seriousness of the drug crime charge and intent. Drug trafficking charges would certainly result in stricter punishment than finding drug paraphernalia during a routine traffic stop, for instance. Less than an ounce of marijuana is a misdemeanor and punishment can include up to $1,000 in fines and a year in jail. Drugs that fall into Schedules I through V are considered felonies and prison sentences vary, according to category and whether this is a first offense.
