What is the punishment for drug dealing?

Answer 1

It depends greatly on the state in which you live and on whether or not it is your first offense. I will speak as if it your first offense. I know that for posession, of a small amount without intention to distribute, in Pennsylvania can result in up to two days in jail, about $1000 of fines, and six months of probation. I have been told that selling can result in up to year in prison years of probation and thousands of dollars in fines. While these seem quite extreme, they do not begin to touch on the subject of what can happen after you finish with paying fines, prison term, and probation. You will have a felony record, making it difficult to get a job, get financial aid for college (or a number of other things), immigrate to Another Country, run for public office, etc. But, police can be quite fickle, and if you're young and it's your first offense, especially if you live in a college town, there is a very good chance you'll get charged with a disorderly conduct have to pay a $300 fine and then you can go home.

Answer 2

It depends on what country and what state you are in.

Usually you will be incarcerated and receive a heavy fine. This usually depends on the drugs involved and the quantity involved (getting caught dealing heroine will be punished more than dealing marijuana!). If you were importing drugs into other countries, or producing the drugs yourself, expect an even bigger punishment.

All in all, there are safer, more profitable and easier ways to make a living than in the illegal drugs trade.

Answer 3

It depends on how much you are caught with, and your previous record if you have one. It also depends on your own country's or region's laws. You can get anywhere from community service to multiple years in prison;poo

Answer 4

It depends on all the circumstances, such as how much you have, how many times you've been caught with it before, your assortment of the weed etc. If you have 1 gram in a joint, then in most states they will give you a slap on the wrist in court and give you a possession ticket. If you have a large amount of weed, or weed in different bags, then you'll be charged with possession and intent to sell. This is a major issue because not only can you do jail time, but the state can take any property in which they believe that you used to sell marijuana with. This means your car, or possibly your home. Also, your age is another factor. If you are over 18 the penalty may be different. Just smoke your green away from the Pigs and you'll be fine.
