Here's ohio law for schedule 3...(not federal law)

" possession of drugs is a misdemeanor of the first degree or, if the offender previously has been convicted of a drug abuse offense, a felony of the fifth degree."

The case CAN be sent thru the federal system but many times they give the case to the local police, which is preferable. That process of actually being charged could take weeks to months.
