- Possession of a Controlled Substance
- Illegal Use of Prescription Drugs
- Intent to Sell
- Driving Under the Influence of Drugs
If prosecutors secure a conviction, the individual can face the following penalties for these crimes:
- Imprisonment
- Probation or mandatory community service

In addition to these penalties, a person can face numerous other consequences for their drug conviction. A conviction of even a relatively slight drug charge can lead to many issues, including a loss of professional licenses and international travel restrictions.
