none usually unless it was like a kilo of coke. If you are caught dealing maybe a month, if buying most likely not any time....\n\n lotta grey area there the law goes by "how much"............

It depends on the misdemeanor and the state.

Probably going to have to re-word your question or at least add some additional information here.  I know I don't have a clue what you're asking, and it doesn't look like anyone else does, either.\n\nTry explaining more about this, and include the state you're in.  Also probably be a good idea to explain more about what you mean by the penalty differing from what's in the penal codes.  If you're only charged so far, there's no penalty because you haven't been convicted yet.

A first time conviction for having less than 30 grams is most likely dropped to a disorderly conduct which includes a fine up to but not more than $369.99 and a 30 day licsence suspension more than 30 grams and it varies

1st offense you might skate by with probation and restitution, if not you are looking at some time.

No idea.  But most run of the mill drug offenses can be prosecuted federally--esp with manufactured drugs like LSD--something crossed state lines somewhere.  So you need to check federal, state and municipal laws.  Manufacture and sale are two separate crimes, as well.  Prison time/fine is going to vary based on the amount involved.  If it's a lot, the individual might also have committed a distribution offense.

Penal Code Section 273.5 is pretty long and discusses penalties for both felony and misdemeanor convictions.  For a first conviction that is a misdemeanor, the penalty is a maximum incarceration in county jail for not more than one year, or a fine of up to six thousand dollars ($6,000) or both.  You can read the entire code section at the link below.

It depends on how often the offense has happened and the severity of it.

In the state of Missouri, a C felony is punishable 1 to 7 yrs incarceration. I have 3 C felony's for possesion of a controled substance (meth) and a D felony on my record. With the third C felony, the courts did indict me and because I then had three C's, charged me with Prior & Persistant Which is a B felony and carries 5-15 yrs doc.\n I was lucky and had a decent lawyer, he got the Prosucuting Attn to agree not to give me anymore than three yrs. For that to be possible, 3 yrs, it had to be brought back down to a C. \n    D felony is, I think  1-4yrs not real sure on that one. \nI know for a fact that a C felony is 1-7 yrs 1 being the least the judge might give, 7 being the max he is allowed to give.\n My first offense I got caught with about 2 grams of meth, I received 5 yrs probation with 2 yrs SIS. SIS is suspended imposition of sentance. that means I go on probation for 5 yrs, if at anytime in that 5 yrs I commit the same or any other crimes, or receive a number of many possible violations of probation, I go to prison to serve the 2 yrs.\n  \n(the rest of the story, I ended up serving 120 day shock on the first charge because I got the second charge... was allowed back on probation after the 120 days, with 3 yrs back up for the second charge, violated probation, technicalities and served 6 months of the three yr sentance. got the third charge a few yrs later by being in th e wrong place at the wrong time... event though I had learned my lesson. and got another 3 yrs and served 6 months on that).... all done now....no more for me ty.lol) \n\n Depending on the amount he was caught with and extenuating circumstances, if not a lot, and no prior record, and a fairly decent lawyer, he'll most likely get probation.

Most crimes, the only exceptions being very serious crimes like murder and rape, have what is called a statute of limitations associated with them.\n\nThe limits vary depending on the crime committed and the location, and there may be special exclusions in your area, but generally, charges would have to be brought within a year or two of the date on which the crime was committed.

30 days generally.  More serious offenses can go up to 1 year.  That's NJ's statute of limitation.  It's about the same everywhere but vary from state to state.

it all depends on the charge and the branch of service, you can have a summary court martial for going UA (unauthorized abscense) to drugs or murder. The time you can serve well 30 yrs to life, it all depends on the charge

it depends on which state,city,citation, and a degree of crime that was committed..*ask a lawyer* just a suggestion..

They are coming down hard in the War on Drugs. I would have to say it is a Fifth Degree Possession charge. Since they are a first time offender the punishment shouldn't be that stiff. Even an empty baggy with traces of an illegal drug is considered a small amount. Residue on a scale is also considered a small amount. My buddy had just gotten out of jail after 4 months and didn't realize there was a leftover empty baggy in her purse from months before. She got pulled over on a routine traffic stop. Since she was on probation that gave them a right to search. They found the empty baggy with traces on it. I write to her in prison now.

well if he is supposed to go to court and doesn't show then he will have a felony drug charge warrant as well as a felony fleeing warrant and there is no escaping that. they will be in the system until he is caught.
