Ohio Cocaine Possession Charges
Cocaine is a powerful stimulant derived from coca plant leaves on a plant that is native to South America. This substance produces a short period of energy, talkativeness, and euphoria. In its powdered form, it can be dissolved in water, snorted, or injected directly into a person’s bloodstream. Crack, which is also a form of cocaine, can be smoked.
In Ohio, possession of cocaine is criminalized under Section 2925.11 of the Ohio Revised Code. Under §2925.11(A), it is illegal to knowingly obtain, possess, or use a controlled substance, including cocaine. Cocaine possession can be charged as a first, second, third, fourth, or fifth-degree felony in Ohio.
