The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has taken a tough stance against drugs. Drug charges are a serious matter in Pennsylvania. The penalty for most drug crimes includes jail term. Even first time offenders can face imprisonment. If convicted of a drug crime, you may be sentenced with: jail time, fines, court and legal fees, court ordered treatment programs, community service, and probation. The length and severity of the sentence will depend upon the type of drug possessed and the amount of the drug. The sentence will be more severe if you have a prior criminal record or you have been previously convicted of a drug crime. The court will also consider if you attempted to sell the drugs to a minor or used a minor during the commission of the drug crime.
