Penalties for Drug Crimes

Drug crime penalties are assessed according to the type of drug involved, the amount, whether weapons were used, gang activities, a defendant's criminal history, and other unique circumstances.

Common drug crime penalties include:

• Jail or prison time
• Large fines and court fees
• Periodic drug testing
• Conviction on your criminal record

With drug crime convictions, the consequences can be felt long after you have served your sentence. You will have to live with a conviction on your criminal record, which can present obstacles when you are applying for jobs, schooling, housing, and more. If you are not a citizen, you may be deported. Convicted individuals also lose certain civil rights, such as the loss of the right to bear arms, to vote, etc.
