Conviction of a felony leads to many penalties, including prison and substantial fines.

It is often difficult for convicted felons to find meaningful employment or a nice place to live.

- Possession of a controlled substance such as OxyContin, Percocet or Ritalin without a valid doctor's prescription

- Prescription fraud — visiting many doctors to get multiple prescriptions for drugs such as Valium or stealing prescription refill pads
- Distribution of pain pills obtained legally or illegally
