What are the Penalties for Drug Crimes?

Penalties for a drug offense may range from a "slap on the wrist" sentence of drug rehabilitation or counseling to many years in a Georgia state prison. These penalties are based upon the type of drug and the amount, as well as the intention of the accused. For instance, possession is a lesser charge than distribution or trafficking, and selling marijuana is a lesser charge than selling heroin. Additionally, some drug crimes are actually federal offenses and will involve the DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) or the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), both federal agencies that will exercise no leniency in prosecuting your case.
