What are controlled substances?
A controlled substance is more than just an illegal drug. It is any substance whose manufacture or possession is
regulated by the government. In Massachusetts, these controlled substances are divided into five groups, known as
classes. Following are examples of the classes of drugs:
Class A: Heroin, morphine, codeine methylbromide, benzylmorphine
Class B: Opium, opiates, amphetamine, barbiturics, substances from coca leaves
Class C: Depressants, narcotics, codeine, bufotenine, psilocybin
Class D: chloral hydrate, marijuana, Butyl Nitrite, barbital
Class E: certain amounts of codeine, dihydrocodeine, ethylmorphine, diphenoxylate, opium
Fighting Boston Drug Charges Effectively
A key point in defending your rights against drug charges is challenging the evidence against you. For instance, your
attorney may try to fight a charge of drug possession by excluding or suppressing evidence brought against you,
demonstrating a lack of possession, or showing the inability of the Commonwealth to prove the chemical
composition of the substance.
In Melendez-Diaz v. Massachusetts , the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that our state could not rely on an affidavit from a
chemist that states a substance is an illegal narcotic. Instead, the state has to have the chemist testify to the lab
analysis of the substance in question. The prosecution may have a police officer testify as an expert to prove the
composition of the substance, but because of our law enforcement experience, we know we can challenge their
ability to do so reliably.

What do I do if I’m facing drug charges?
The most important thing to do after being arrested for a drug crime is to hire a lawyer to defend you. Without the
counsel and representation of a drug crime attorney, you may be convicted for a drug crime you didn’t commit, or
you may face a harsher sentence than you deserve. At Keegan Law, we serve to fight injustice and defend each client
with our full effort and resources. Both of our main attorneys are former police officers and one has experience as a
police prosecutor, giving us valuable insight into the opponent’s thoughts and actions. Contact our firm today if you
need a skilled and aggressive Boston drug crime lawyer.
