In the Other drugs forum, we tend to mainly focus on the effects of drug use, and not the effects of getting caught with those drugs, a real possibility in the US of A. I want to get others opinions on the consequences of getting caught with controlled substances relative to each other. Here is my approximation.
Worst to least, to get caught with (in terms of sentence, etc):
Crack (CII)-Mandatory Minimum Sentences, need I say more?
GHB (CI)-It is fairly harmless relative to other drugs I will mention but it has been caught under the umbrella of date rape. Some states prescribe sentences of up to 60 years for possession.
Heroin (CI)-Worse than getting caught with CII narcotics, I imagine.
Methamphetamine (CII)-The DEA considers it the biggest growing problem in America.
Cocaine-Had a bad rep since 1914 (Harrison Narcotics Act)
Ecstasy (CI)-It is heralded as fairly benign by users but getting busted with it is a different story lately.
PCP (CII)-Kind of rare but still commonly discussed in drug texts and by the govt.
CII Narcotics (Morphine, Fentanyl, Oxycodone)-Like heroin but legal according to the prohibitionists.
LSD (CI)-I dunno why but it is considered a hard drug.
Shrooms (CI)-Ditto in the US.
Ketamine (CIII)-Also caught under the date rape drug category so be careful (God knows why it is a date rape drug)...
Hydrocodone (CIII)-This is many people's entrance into the world of opiates.
Xanax/Valium (CIV)-It is still a felony.
Cannabis (CI)-A misdemenor in most places.
I want to know what others think...
