There is NO statute of limitations in California, BUT if you are arrested, and NOT charged at the time of arrest, but it goes to the D.A. for further review. They only have a year from the date of arrest to get you in front of a judge for araignment on the pending charges.

California did away with the statute of limitations in 2002.

The general statute of limitations for Illinois felony cases is 5 years. For misdemeanors, it is 18 months. Most drug matters are felonies, although there are levels of cannabis possession that are misdemeanors and in rare cases if drug cases are classified as "attempt" then that may be a misdemeanor. Please see the related link for more on Illinois felonies.

Yes, drug charges have statutes of limitations. If you commit a drug offense you only are eligible to serve a sentence for it for a certain period of time. The statue of limitations depends on the state in which you were charged.

That will depend upon the jurisdiction. In some places there is no limit for felonies, so the amount would be important.
