- Drug possession – Having any Schedule drug in your possession—including prescription drugs not prescribed for you—is illegal in Wisconsin and throughout the United States. Furthermore, if you are driving a car and one of your passengers is in possession of drugs, the police may hold you liable.
- Drug distribution – Distribution charges penalize individuals for selling or transporting, drugs, or importing them into the country.
- Drug offenses and violations – The police may charge you with any combination of drug crimes and violations. The penalties increase in accordance with the situation in which they occur. Offenses involving children or school zones face additional consequences.
- Drug manufacturing – It is illegal to grow, cultivate, and produce certain plants or naturally occurring elements that are used to make controlled substances. It is also illegal to produce controlled substances by combining chemicals.
- Drug trafficking – The law severely punishes individuals for the illegal production and distribution of controlled substances, and for other criminal activities. In many cases, trafficking is considered more serious than distribution, and the charges can involve laws in multiple jurisdictions.
