"Spice" Is On Track to Become an Illegal Drug in Nevada
It's expected that the Nevada State Board of Pharmacy will schedule "spice" as a controlled substance on par with powerful narcotics. This means that not only would spice no longer be available over-the-counter at smoke shops . . . anyone who has any will be committing the Nevada crime of drug possession.
The Nevada crime of drug possession is charged when someone is suspected of carrying or keeping narcotics for personal use. It applies both to illegal drugs such as cocaine and prescription drugs such as Ritalin without a valid prescription. Common defenses are that you didn't know the drugs were there or that the police performed an unconstitutional search.
The Nevada crime of drug possession is a felony. A first time offense can carry up to four years in prison. But the judge is usually willing to dismiss the charge if you complete Drug Court.
