§ 152.02 — Schedules of Controlled Substances; Administration of Chapter

Plain-Language Summary

Establishes the five schedules (I through V) of controlled substances in Minnesota and lists every substance in each schedule. Schedule I includes heroin, LSD, and MDMA. Schedule II includes cocaine, methamphetamine, fentanyl, and oxycodone. The schedule a substance falls under determines which crime degrees and penalties apply.

Practical Notes
The schedule classification of the substance you are charged with possessing or selling directly determines the severity of the charge. For example, possessing a Schedule I or II substance can be charged as a fifth-degree felony, while Schedule V possession is a misdemeanor. If a substance was recently added or reclassified, the timing may affect your case.
