Pennsylvania Drug Crime Laws – Drug Possession – Drug Distribution – Drug Trafficking

Like all states, Pennsylvania has taken a tough stand against drugs. The drug laws in Pennsylvania are severe. Penalty for drug crimes in Pennsylvania is usually a prison term, a fine or a combination of both. The quantity of drug found in your possession will play a major role in determining the penalty. If you are intending to sell the drugs in your possession, the penalties are more severe. If you’ve had a prior conviction for a drug crime, you will face much tougher penalties. Growing or cultivating drugs carries more severe penalties than mere possession. The location where you are caught with drugs in your possession will also play a key role in determining the penalty. For instance, if you are arrested near a school, you will face severe penalties.

• Transporting drugs across a state line
