This would depend on the amount of controlled substance. In some states it would also depend on the way the substance was packaged.

This brings me to the last variable, what state are you in? While Federal Laws are the same across the country, state laws do vary some so what is a violation in my state may be a misdemeanor in yours, or vice versa.
