Consequences with the Law

Consequences with the law involving drugs include both illegal and legal drugs used in abundance. Drugs that you can get prosecuted for would be marijuana, cocaine, crackm heroin, crystal meth, and any other street drug you have probably heard of. You don't have to be using these drugs in order to be prosecuted, just having possetion of the illegal drugs can get you arrested.

Possession of marijuana can be treated as either a Class A misdemeanor or as a Class C felony, depending on the person's prior criminal history and whether or not the marijuana appears to be for other than personal use. If a person already has a conviction for marijuana, then any further arrests for marijuana will be charged as Marijuana First Degree, a felony.The misdemeanor can result in a maximum of one year in jail and a $2,000 fine. Some cases also invlove prohibation.

Possetion of any illegal drug can be a risk to not just you, but your family, because they can also be prosectuted for use.
