Penalties for Prescription Drug Charges
Any drug that is used for medical purposes must have a valid, current prescription to be legally possessed. Carrying prescription drugs without a doctor’s written consent is punishable by law. If convicted for a violation, a person can face harsh punishments. Consequences for conviction will vary depending on whether or not a person has any priors on their record.
Conviction can bring the following penalties:
- For a first or second conviction, up to four years in prison and a felony charge
- For a third or fourth conviction, up to four years in prison, a felony charge, and up to $20,000 in fines
Nevada punishes these offenses harshly due to the addictive and powerful nature of many prescription drugs. If you are currently facing a prescription drug charge, it is urgent that you contact a skilled legal professional from our firm to get started towards building your defense. Upon further investigation into your individual situation, an attorney from our firm can determine the most appropriate course of action to pursue.
