I Have a Question Dealing With Drugs and Jail Time…..?
Question by Megan: I have a question dealing with drugs and jail time…..?
A family member of mine was arrested for having possession sched u/20 grams of canibus, possession sched II substance, possession sched IV substance, and possession drug paraphernalia. The possessions are weed, xanax, somas, lordtabs, and a pipe. She has previous charges for drug related things involving pills, and she is a three time felon. I want to know what “sched” means and what her sentence might be. I live in Florida.
