Drugs That Are Illegal in Pennsylvania

In Pennsylvania, it is illegal to possess and distribute unauthorized prescription drugs and controlled substances such as:

Marijuana
Methamphetamine
Cocaine
Heroin

Pennsylvania separates drugs into schedules based on risk level or addiction likelihood. Drug conviction penalties, such as jail time and fines, will depend on which schedule the drugs fall under. Penalty severity will also depend on whether an individual simply possessed the drugs or also had the intent to distribute them.

If you are facing drug charges in Pennsylvania, you can depend on our experienced lawyers to understand the complexities of the court system and the different levels of drug charges. Our local expertise can help you protect your rights and seek the best solution for your situation.
