Charlotte drug cases break down into several different categories based upon the controlled substance that is alleged, the conduct that is alleged (for instance possession versus sale) and the amount that is alleged.
Drugs are categorized under a schedule of controlled substances. Each drug falls under one of the controlled substance categories. This categorization determines the punishment that a defendant is eligible for and the way that the substance is potentially measured.
