The consequences 

The consequences for drug-related charges run the gamut. The severity of the consequences handed down in your case — in the event of a conviction — will depend on the type of drug involved and if you are accused of selling, making or using said drug. Potential penalties include court-ordered rehabilitation, probation, jail time, prison time and fines. Things can get even worse if weapons or any other charges are also filed against you. 

You can fight back 

The good news is, you can take steps to fight drug-related charges. The road is not easy, but not everyone ends up facing the max penalties, and some do not face penalties at all — if the charges are ultimately dismissed. So, don’t think that drug-related charges mean the end of your world.
