Even a “less serious” drug charge can carry serious consequences in southeast Louisiana. If you’ve been arrested for possession of a Schedule III controlled substance, James and Bradley is ready to help.
Common Schedule III Substances:
Schedule III drugs include:
- Suboxone
- Steroids
- Ketamine
- Certain codeine cough syrups
Many of these are legal with a prescription, but illegal if you don’t have one in your name.
What Happens After an Arrest
Whether you were picked up in Ponchatoula, Walker, Bogalusa, or Slidell, the charges are real:
- Felony record
- Up to 5 years in prison
- Fines and mandatory probation
- Drug treatment or classes
But in many cases, especially for first-time offenders, the right attorney can negotiate better outcomes.
