Illegal possesion of Xanax is a felony and carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, and a $5,000 fine.
"When people start escalating dosages and self-medicating, they can very quickly become addicted and it can be a very dangerous addiction," said drug expert and author Rod Colvin.
Xanax, or Alprazolam, is a drug in pill form which is prescribed to patients with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD).
Since Xanax is so readily available some abusers may never have to pay for the drug.

Xanax Abuse

Xanax abuse is a widespread affliction in the United States.
Club-goers say it’s relatively easy to obtain Xanax from a dealer. One anonymous
drug user, a 28 year old, confessed that “Xanax is commonly sold at nightclubs”.
Many people abuse this drug to lower their inhibitions. "It's kind of the same
reason someone takes a drink. It’s a depressant, and in low doses it makes you
more relaxed and sociable" says Dr. Glen Hanson (acting director of the National
Institute of Drug Abuse).
While Xanax is heavily abused by many different types of individuals, the majority
of its abuse is by 20-something "Xannie" poppers. Club-hoppers wedge a Xanax
pill into the olive they get in their mixed drink. Many accounts have been recorded
about young teens who have abused Xanax. In Philadelphia, 28 middle school teenagers
took high doses of Xanax during their lunch period. Twelve had to be treated
at a hospital. Two weeks ago in the Houston, four more middle school students
were taken to the hospital after taking Xanax. The widespread abuse of Xanax
across the United States is so severe that fraudulently obtaining a prescription
for Xanax is a felony and is punishable by up to five years in prison.
