Potential Punishments for Narcotic / Drug Crimes

In 1970, the Federal government passed the Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act, creating a uniform federal drug law. Narcotic / drug possession charges are very common in state court. The possession (control over) of any scheduled drug (drug type/classification) without a prescription will qualify you for a felony charge in most jurisdictions. The amount of the drug in your possession will determine how the case is charged and whether the case will be a felony or a misdemeanor. Penalties for drug convictions are severe and can range from prison or probation to community service and/or heavy fines.
