Prescription Drug Crime Attorney in Riverside
About Riverside Prescription Drug Crimes & Charges
Though most people associate drug crimes with illegal street drugs, there are an increasing number of cases that involve prescription drugs. Like other drugs, prescription drugs are classified as controlled substances. This means that they are regulated by the government. State and federal laws prohibit the
possession, use,
distribution, sale,
trafficking or manufacturing of prescription drugs without lawful authority such as a valid prescription or a license to manufacture or prescribe these substances. A defendant may also face criminal charges for prescription fraud, which involves fraudulently obtaining a prescription drug for personal use or for sale. Depending on the particular type of prescription drug involved as well as the amount, a defendant may face felony charges and severe penalties if convicted of a prescription drug crime in or around Riverside, California.
