Defense Against Crimes Involving Ecstasy (MDMA)

A Schedule 1 drug is so classified because it possesses a high likelihood for abuse and has no known medicinal value. It is a favorite as a club drug, used recreationally by people participating in parties and bar scenes. Possession of ecstasy is a wobbler, meaning it can be either a misdemeanor or felony depending on the specific facts and your criminal history. Penalties for possession can be up to 1 year in jail with fines. Penalties for possession with intent to sell or transport can range from 16 months to 9 years in prison.

Any of these penalties can be enhanced if you have a prior history of drug convictions.
