State penalties and sanctions for illegal possession of controlled substances

The framework for the regulation of most drugs, also called controlled substances, is set out in the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. In addition, there are other Nebraska state laws that establish penalties for various drug-related offenses that are summarized in the chart in Appendix A1 and A2.

Crimes involving minors

Any person 18 years of age or older who distributes, delivers or sells controlled substances to a person under the age of 18 years shall be punished by the next-higher penalty classification for a first offense or second offense involving drugs such as heroin, speed, cocaine, LSD or pentazocine. The law also provides for an enhanced penalty for anyone 18 years of age or older who employs, uses, persuades

or coerces any person under the age of 18 years to manufacture, transport, distribute, carry, deliver, dispense or possess with intent to do the same of a controlled substance or a counterfeit controlled substance. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-416(4) and (5) (Supp. 1999).

Tax provisions

Anyone who possesses or sells the following amounts of controlled substances must pay the appropriate taxes to the Nebraska Department of Revenue and have the stamps attached to the controlled substances:

• Marijuana is taxed at $100 for each ounce or portion of an ounce.

• Any controlled substance that is sold by weight or volume (i.e., cocaine, crack, methamphetamine, etc.) is taxed at $150 for each gram or portion of a gram.

• Any controlled substance that is not sold by weight (i.e., LSD, quaaludes, methamphetamine in tablets, PCP, etc.) is taxed at $500 for each 50 dosage units or portion thereof.

• Failure to have the proper tax stamps attached to the controlled substance carries a criminal penalty of up to five years imprisonment or a $10,000 fine or both. A penalty equal to 100 percent of the unpaid tax will also be assessed, and both the tax and the penalty may become a lien upon the property owned by the person against whom the tax is assessed. Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 77-4301 to 77-4316 (Reissue 1996).

Property forfeiture

Property used to manufacture, sell or deliver controlled substances can be seized and forfeited to the state. Property subject to forfeiture may include cash, cars, boats and airplanes. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28- 431 (Cum. Supp. 1998).

Being under the influence of any controlled substance for unauthorized purpose

It is a violation of Nebraska law to be under the influence of any controlled substance for a purpose other than the treatment of a sickness or injury as prescribed or administered by a person duly authorized by law to treat sick and injured human beings. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-417(1) (g) (Reissue 1995).

Neb. Rev. Stat. §§ 28-441 and 29-436 (Reissue 1995). The penalty for violation of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-442 is not more than six months imprisonment or $1,000 fine or both. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-442 (Reissue 1995) and § 28-106 (1) (Cum. Supp. 1998). The penalty for violation of Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-443 is imprisonment for not more than one year or $1,000 fine or both. Neb. Rev.

For purposes of Nebraska’s Uniform Controlled Substance Act, analogue controlled substances (often called designer drugs) are treated as controlled substances. Such an analogue is defined as (a) substantially similar in chemical structure to the chemical structure of a controlled substance or (b) having a stimulant, depressant, analgesic or hallucinogenic effect on the central nervous system that is substantially similar to or greater than the effect of a controlled substance.
