Morristown NJ Prescription Drug Charges Attorney
New Jersey Pain Pills Possession Lawyer
Individuals in New Jersey who are being charged with prescription drug crimes are treated the same as those charged with recreational drug crimes. An individual suffering from an injury or recovering from surgery who has been prescribed pain pills such as Oxycontin, "Oxy" or "Oxycottin", Oxocodone, Percocet, Percoset, Percodon, Roxycontin, "Roxy", "Roxycottin", Fentanyl, Adderall, Nembutal, Methadone, Morphine, Xanax, Vicodin, Hydrocodone, Valium, Ritalin, Dexedrine, Suboxone, Mebarol and Diazepam may easily find themselves unable to deal with the pain after the pills run out. In an effort to avoid the pain, otherwise law abiding citizens may find themselves seeking these medications from other sources when their doctor refuses to refill their prescription or increase the dose to accommodate their ever increasing pain. Pharmaceuticals are considered Controlled Dangerous Substances (CDS) under New Jersey Law and may only be possessed or distributed as authorized by law.
Where an individual possesses prescription medicines or drugs in NJ, including opiates, painkillers, tranquilizers, central nervous system depressants, and central nervous system stimulants, in an unlawful manner, the individual may be charged or indicted for a criminal offense.
