Cocaine Drug Cases
Cocaine Defense
Cocaine is a stimulant derived from the leaves of a coca plant. It is classified as a Schedule II drug under the Controlled Substance Act. It is an illegal drug that can be inhaled, smoked and taken intravenously, or mixed with other drugs such as marijuana and
heroin. Drug offenses involving cocaine can result in harsh sentencing, particularly if it is a second or third conviction. Even first time offenders can be charged with a felony depending on the amount of cocaine that was involved, or if the drug was intended for sale instead of personal use.
