“Schedule II” Drugs in Nevada (21 USC § 812)

Updated

Schedule II drugs are considered the second most dangerous class of drugs because although they have a currently accepted medical use, they nonetheless have a high potential for abuse and may lead to severe psychological or physical dependence.

Consequently, Nevada drug crimes involving Schedule II drugs carry extremely harsh penalties.
