Legal Sanctions Students and employees are reminded that local, state and federal laws provide for a variety of legal sanctions and penalties for the unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol. These sanctions include, but are not limited to, incarceration and monetary fines. Any person who unlawfully distributes a controlled substance to a person under 21 years of age may be punished by up to twice the term of imprisonment and fine otherwise authorized by law. Depressants include barbiturates, Valium and barbital. Hallucinogens include LSD, marijuana and psilocybin.
State law classifies amphetamines and methamphetamines as stimulants.
The local ordinances of Hays also provide for prohibitions relating to illicit drugs and alcohol. Generally, these local ordinances are similar in content to state law. Further information about these local, state, and federal ordinances and statutes will be maintained in the Office of Student Affairs and the Kelly Center and will be available to students and employees. Students and employees are encouraged to obtain copies of this information. V. University Sanctions A.
