Laws Regarding Distribution of Oxycontin and Oxycodone
Every state has different laws relating to the distribution of oxycontin and oxycodone. As a result, the specific provisions and ramifications for distributing these drugs vary. Nevertheless, generally most states treat the possession of oxycontin and oxycodone as a felony. Usually, if one seeks to distribute, or has been distributing, a large number of pills, a state will have enhanced penalties as the number of pills in one’s possession increases. Imprisonment terms can reach up to twenty years in many states for one count of distribution, while fines for possession can quickly escalate up to the hundreds of thousands for many counts of the charge of distribution.
