How severe are drug crime punishments in New York?
Most drug crimes in New York are felonies – it has some of the strongest drug laws in the nation, and as a result, a conviction will typically carry very big fines and prison sentences.
These crimes fall into three categories:
- Sale of Controlled Substance
- Drug Possession
- Drug Trafficking
When you’re charged with any of these crimes, a few different things affect what kind of sentence you’ll receive if you’re convicted. The main factors are:
- Which drugs were involved
- The amount of each drug involved
- Whether there’s evidence that you sold or intended to sell the drugs
- Whether any guns were seized with the drugs
- Whether you have any prior convictions, and if so, if they were felonies or violent felonies
- Whether you’ve received drug treatment
The type of drug you were arrested with also affects how heavy your sentence would be. Narcotics (like heroin, ecstasy and cocaine) are felonies even in small amounts. Marijuana charges vary – possession of over 8 oz., sale of over 25 grams, trafficking in any amount and possession of over ¼ oz. of hash & concentrates are felonies, while lesser amounts are misdemeanors or violations.
