What is the max sentence in Florida for possession of cocaine?

In Florida, there are different schedules, or levels ranging 1-5, that drugs are classified into. Cocaine is classified as a Schedule 2. This means that they are less likely to be abused than Schedule 1 and have some sort of medical purpose in the United States. The odds of the offense being considered a felony are greater with a Schedule 1 or 2 drug, while a Schedule 5 drug may only be a misdemeanor. The sentencing judge will also take into account the actions intended with the drug. Whether it was intent to sell, trafficking, or possession will all have an effect on the outcome. The punishment really depends on the circumstances, but can end up being classified at the maximum as a life felony, which would lead to a prison sentence of up to 30 years or life, and a fine of up to $15,000.

Is heroin a type of hallucinogen?

Yes, heroin is a psychoactive drug. The DEA classifies it as a "Schedule-1" drug which also includes hallucinogenics as LSD, PCP, etc. Pharmacologically, heroin and methadone are both "pro-drugs" which metabolize to opiate-like molecules like morphine in the body. Note that the term "psychoactive" does not medically indicate a drug of an illegal or recreational nature. Many Schedule 2,3,4 drugs are also psychoactive in nature, and include morphine, Demerol, Xanax, codeine, barbiturates like Seconal, Talwin, etc. This is simply a term that describes these agents as having a pronounced stimulant or inhibitory effect on the CNS (central nervous system) in the body.
