With more than 830 pages, the heavily annotated Fifth Edition provides in-depth coverage of the substantive law of controlled substance offenses as set forth in Title 44 of the South Carolina Code and as interpreted by the South Carolina appellate courts. Related statutory provisions are also addressed. Helpful Practice Tips, including rules of law, reversible error, and PCR flags preface each chapter.

Statutory provisions relevant to controlled substance litigation are included as appendices. The practical appendices also include the SC Drug Code, the Hemp Farming Act of 2019, SC Rules of Criminal Procedure, SLED Regulations, Grand Juries and the State Grand Jury System, PTI, the Youthful Offenders Act, criminal procedure provisions, a schedule of common controlled substances with their common/trade names, drug offenses affecting family court jurisdiction, and sentencing charts sorted by offense section, offense name and classification.
