Ohio Drug Manufacturing and Cultivation Penalties

How drug manufacture charges are punished depends on the type of drug; that is, the “Schedule” it falls under, along with other circumstances such as whether the offense took place near a school, park, or other designated drug-free area.

Penalties for drug manufacture can include:

• Schedule I or II (LSD, marijuana, heroin)—6 to 18 months in prison and up to $15,000 in fines
• Schedule I or II manufacturing near a school—3 to 10 years and up to $20,000 in fines
• Schedule III, IV or V (codeine, ketamine, clonazepam)—1 to 5 years in prison and up to $10,000
• Schedule II, IV, or V manufacturing near a school—2 to 8 years in prison and up to $15,000

Cultivation of marijuana is prosecuted especially tough by federal authorities, much as other Schedule I drugs are. Cultivation of up to 50 marijuana plants can result in 5 years in prison under federal law, and a life sentence for over 1,000 plants.
