Idaho Drug Laws

There are several types of drug crimes the state recognizes:

The specific requirements to be charged with a drug crime often depend on the specific substance in question.

Can Violation of These Idaho Drug Possession Laws be a Felony?

For some substances, being convicted of having more than a set amount not only changes the specific charge, but changes it from a misdemeanor into a felony. The cutoff amount is different for each substance.

The type of substance can sometimes make even possession an instant felony. For example, having any amount of heroin in your possession or on your property is a felony. Meanwhile, according to the site of the Idaho Legislature, it takes a full pound of marijuana to be assumed to be involved in trafficking it, and therefore, charged with a felony.

Prescription fraud, in the usual sense, takes place when someone forges a prescription in order to illegally obtain drugs. However, doctors and pharmacists charged with this crime are usually being accused of improperly writing out or filling prescriptions rather than forging them.

Possible Penalties

As with other states, Idaho's drug crime penalties depend on several details. Someone caught with only a small amount of a minor substance, such as marijuana, may only face a fine and/or a short jail sentence. Meanwhile, someone convicted of simply possessing a small amount of a "hard drug" can be sentenced to many years in prison and fines over $10,000 for a first offense. Subsequent convictions can greatly increase both fines and jail times.
