More than 50 percent of Americans take at least one prescription drug, according to the most recent statistics available from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Prescription drugs are marketed and advertised to the public as miracles that will get rid of all of their medical problems. It is no surprise then that more and more people – young and old – are becoming more and more attracted and addicted to prescription medications whose use is at an all-time high in the United States.

Illegal possession of prescription drugs or forging or falsifying a prescription to illegally obtain these drugs is a serious crime in Maryland.

The consequences for possessing illegal prescription drugs can be just as serious as possessing a narcotic or controlled substance. You could face jail or prison time, steep fines and lengthy probation. Many Maryland prosecutors strongly believe that the vigorous pursuit and prosecution of prescription drug cases is an important part of the nation's war on drugs. In such an environment, even an innocent purchase of drugs on the Internet to quell a migraine or help you sleep better can be misconstrued or distorted, resulting in serious criminal drug possession charges.
