Drugs in Penalty Group 3

Many of the controlled substances in Penalty Group 3 are generally classified as depressants. Many of those are barbiturates. Among the drugs that fall within Penalty Group 3 are:

  • Diazepam (Valium)
  • Methylphenidate (Ritalin)
  • Lorazepam (Ativan)
  • Alprazolam (Xanax)
  • Clonazepam (Rivotril)
  • Pentobarbital
  • Amobarbital

Other drugs in Penalty Group 3 include:

  • Peyote
  • Anabolic steroids

Different penalties apply to possession of a controlled substance than the penalties that apply to delivery, possession with intent to deliver, or manufacturing a controlled substance. Regardless of the crime, however, minimum sentences apply to crimes involving large quantities of drugs listed in Penalty Group 3.

Delivery, Possession With Intent to Deliver, or Manufacturing

The potential penalty for delivery, possession with intent to deliver, or manufacturing a controlled substance in Penalty Group 3 depends on the weight of the controlled substance involved in the crime.
