It's a 3rd degree felony under Penal Code § 38.11 and carries a penalty of 2 to 10 years imprisonment and a possible fine up to $10,000. That's in addition to the penalty for the mere possession of the controlled substance, which depends on the substance and the amount. It kind of smacks of double jeopardy but as the saying goes, "Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."

The answer is in the Texas Health and Safety Code, Section 481.115(d). Possession of methamphetamine (a Penalty Group 1 substance) is a second degree felony. The Texas Penal Code, Section 12.33 says punishment for a second degree felony ranges from 2-20 years in prison and a fine of not more than $10,000.

How much jail time can you get for sellling 30 grams of marijuana?
That depends greatly on the state. In Texas, possession of marijuana punishment is dependent on the amount (based on ounces), and Texas does not have a possession with intent to distribute for marijuana. I believe many other states to increase the punishment for intent to distribute even with marijuana. I would suggest you look to the penal code of your state, or possibly re-post the question to include the state.
What is the penalty in Texas for possession of controlled substance of 11g and it is your 3rd charge with crack cocaine?
Texas doesn't take possession of cocaine, or distribution of cocaine lightly. Even a gram of crack cocaine in your possession at the time of arrest can result in felony charges. The cocaine possession penalties and jail time will depend upon the amount of possession. As an example, conviction for less than one gram of cocaine may be punishable by up to two years in a state jail facility and/or by a fine not to exceed 10,000 dollars. Any or all of the state jail time and/or fines may be probated, in an eligible case, for up to five years. An experienced Texas attorney familiar with drug violations criminal defense may be critical to avoiding jail time for possession of cocaine.
