Atlanta Drug Crimes Related to Ecstasy

MDMA (3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine) is commonly referred to as ecstasy. This is an illegal narcotic that is used as a stimulant and to release inhibitions. Due to its highly addictive nature and potential danger (and lack of recognized medicinal value) ecstasy is categorized as a Schedule I substance. In accordance with this classification, any offense involving ecstasy possession, distribution, manufacturing, trafficking or sale will be a felony offense and will subject the alleged offender to extremely harsh penalties.

Possession of any amount of ecstasy is a felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison in Atlanta, and a first offense involving distribution, manufacturing or trafficking may be punishable by up to 30 years or 40 years for a second or subsequent offense.
