They are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dea.gov\/press-releases\/2024\/07\/18\/co-conspirator-idaho-drug-ring-sentenced-10-years-federal-prison\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a very real problem<\/a>, though. Idaho authorities take a very serious approach to cocaine crimes and drug trafficking. State law makes both possession and the sale of cocaine felonies.<\/p>\r\n<p>Cocaine isn\u2019t the only controlled substance law enforcement deals with. The police in Boise and other parts of Idaho enforce the laws for illegal drugs as well, including:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Methamphetamine<\/li>\r\n<li>Cannabis\/Marijuana<\/li>\r\n<li>Amphetamines<\/li>\r\n<li>LSD<\/li>\r\n<li>Opiates<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Misuse of prescription drugs such as Adderall and Xanax is on their radar as well. While not as serious as cocaine-related offenses, they&#8217;re still crimes.<\/p>\r\n<p>Here, we\u2019ll discuss Idaho\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/criminal\/criminal-charges\/drug-possession-overview.html#:~:text=Possession%20of%20certain%20illicit%20drugs%20violates%20federal%20and\">drug possession<\/a> laws, as well as regulations regarding the manufacture and distribution of cocaine. If you\u2019re facing charges for possession of a controlled substance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/criminal\/criminal-charges\/drug-trafficking-distribution.html#:~:text=Drug%20distribution%20or%20trafficking%20is%20criminalized%20by%20both\">drug trafficking<\/a>, or any other violation of a drug law, you should be familiar with the penalties that will result from a conviction.<\/p>\r\n<h2><b>Federal Cocaine Classification<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p>The federal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/criminal\/criminal-charges\/controlled-substances-act-csa-overview.html#:~:text=The%20federal%20Controlled%20Substances%20Act%20%28CSA%29%20regulates%20the,many%20attempts%20to%20outlaw%20or%20regulate%20certain%20drugs.\">Controlled Substance Act<\/a> (CSA) classifies drugs into five schedules. Not all of these drugs are illegal. Many of them are medications people obtain using a legitimate prescription. Federal and state laws view certain drugs as more dangerous than others. Cocaine is one of these drugs.<\/p>\r\n<p>Below are the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/criminal\/criminal-charges\/drug-classifications.html#:~:text=FindLaw&#039;s%20overview%20of%20drug%20classifications,%20including%20information%20about\">schedules of controlled substances<\/a>:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><b>Schedule I<\/b>: This class includes drugs with a high potential for abuse and dependence. There are no accepted medical uses for them. Examples of Schedule I drugs include heroin, LSD, and ecstasy.<\/li>\r\n<li><b>Schedule II<\/b>: Like Schedule I drugs, these substances have a high potential for dependence and abuse. These drugs have some accepted medical uses. Examples of Schedule II drugs include cocaine, oxycodone, and methamphetamine.<\/li>\r\n<li><b>Schedule III<\/b>: These controlled substances have a moderate potential for abuse and addiction. Examples of Schedule III drugs include codeine and anabolic steroids.<\/li>\r\n<li><b>Schedule IV<\/b>: These drugs pose little to no risk of abuse or addiction. In most cases, people who use these drugs have valid prescriptions from a doctor. Examples of Schedule IV medications include Xanax, Valium, and Ativan.<\/li>\r\n<li><b>Schedule V<\/b>: These substances are not considered dangerous. They\u2019re drugs often prescribed by doctors. These include such medications as Lyrica and Robitussin.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>Most law enforcement agencies focus on Schedule I and II drugs. Even when someone has these substances for personal use, they can lead to drug addiction, health issues, and an increased crime rate.<\/p>\r\n<h2><b>State Cocaine Laws<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p>While there are federal laws regarding the possession and sale of cocaine, state <a href=\"https:\/\/www.findlaw.com\/state\/criminal-laws\/details-on-state-cocaine-laws.html\">cocaine laws<\/a> vary in terms of penalties. A conviction for simple cocaine possession could result in a prison term of 14 years, depending on the amount of drugs the offender has on them and whether they have prior drug convictions. For some people, selling cocaine could result in life imprisonment.<\/p>\r\n<p>Lawmakers in Idaho have implemented mandatory minimum sentences for some drug offenses. The goal is to deter would-be offenders from engaging in drug trafficking.<\/p>\r\n<h2><b>Cocaine Statutes in Idaho<\/b><\/h2>\r\n<p>The chart below highlights cocaine statutes under Idaho law.<\/p>\r\n<table>\r\n<tbody><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p><b>Idaho Cocaine Law Code Sections<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><p><b>Idaho Codes<\/b><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/codes.findlaw.com\/id\/title-37-food-drugs-and-oil\/id-st-sect-37-2701\/#:~:text=Food,%20Drugs,%20and%20Oil%20%C2%A7%2037-2701.%20Definitions.%20(2)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Idaho Statutes 37-2701<\/a>, et seq.<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/legislature.idaho.gov\/statutesrules\/idstat\/Title37\/T37CH27\/#:~:text=TITLE%2037%20FOOD,%20DRUGS,%20AND%20OIL.%20CHAPTER%2027\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uniform Controlled Substances<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p><b>Idaho Cocaine Possession Penalties<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><ul>\r\n<li><b>First offense<\/b>: A felony charge carrying a prison sentence of up to seven years and fines of up to $15,000<\/li>\r\n<li><b>Subsequent offense<\/b>: Double penalties<\/li>\r\n<li><b>Possession of 28 g. or more<\/b>: Trafficking charges<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p><b>Idaho Cocaine Sale Penalties<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><ul>\r\n<li><b>First offense<\/b>: A felony charge with a penalty of up to life in prison and a $25,000 fine<\/li>\r\n<li><b>Subsequent offense<\/b>: Double penalties<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><tr><th scope=\"row\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><p><b>Idaho Cocaine Trafficking Penalties<\/b><\/p>\r\n<\/th>\r\n<td><ul>\r\n<li><b>Between 28-200 grams<\/b>: Mandatory three years in prison and a minimum fine of $10,000<\/li>\r\n<li><b>Between 200-400 grams<\/b>: Mandatory five years imprisonment and a minimum fine of $15,000<\/li>\r\n<li><b>Over 400 grams<\/b>: Mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years and a minimum fine of $25,000; maximum sentence is life in prison; maximum fine is $100,000<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<\/td>\r\n<\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\r\n<p>Cocaine is a Schedule I narcotic.
