New York City Drug Possession Lawyer

OxyContin, generic name oxycodone, is a pain reliever that is extremely similar to morphine. This is a drug that is prescribed to those who are currently experiencing around-the-clock pain and who are in need of consistent pain relief and pain management. While this is a legally prescribed medication to help those who are currently suffering from serious pain, it has found its way onto the black market and is currently classified as a Schedule II drug by the federal government. This means that the drug has a high potential for serious abuse and can be considered as highly addictive. Morphine and opium are both in this classification as well.

Defending Against Charges of OxyContin Possession

It has been noted in several instances that taking OxyContin, while it could help get severe pain under control, is also habit forming. Someone who legally began to take the drug under prescription could find themselves addicted and quickly spiraling down a rabbit hole. It has been found that many people have resorted to fraudulent and illicit methods to get possession of the drug including methods such as doctor shopping. This means simply that the patient went to several doctors in an effort to get several different prescriptions for the same drug.

Other methods of illegally getting possession of this illegal drug include fraudulently filling out prescription pads, lying to physicians or buying off of the black market. Due to the recent media attention given to drug crimes involving prescription drugs, it is no surprise that law enforcement officers and prosecutors alike have been cracking down on this type of criminal offense. If it is believed that you have illegal possession of this drug, or if you are believed to have the intentions to distribute, you could be facing serious and life-altering criminal consequences.
