Wisconsin residents could be charged with a misdemeanor or felony in allegations involving Schedule 2 drugs such as Vicodin, cocaine, methadone and other substances. A charge is not a conviction, so penalties for schedule 2 drug possession do not occur unless convicted of a crime, not just charged.

|---|---|---|
| 1-5 Grams of Cocaine (8-Ball + Teener) | Class F Felony | max. $25,000 fine and/or a 12 year, 6 month prison term |
| 5-15 Grams of Cocaine (Half Ounce) | Class E Felony | max. $50,000 fine and/or 15 years imprisonment |
