First drugs are illegal so a punishment goes there.\nUnder the use of drugs an act of crime occurs, may not have if accused was clean.\nConsider priors he/she may have.\nThen put together a jail term and a drug rehab program.\nI would suggest  a 3 to 5 year  sentence and less time for good behavior.  \nYes you are right about a killing being less time. That really stinks.

When they are committing a CRIME, they already ARE a criminal. It is not making a criminal out of a "normal" person. And face it folks, illegal drugs are just that, ILLEGAL. Hence, they are against the law and posession or distribution of them is a criminal act. Someone committing a criminal act, is by definition a criminal. It is that simple.\n\nAs for jail time. It depends on the person, the history, etc. Just as with many other crimes, the judge must weigh all the facts and make a decision. But if the judge deems that jail time is right for that offender, then jail time it should be. If you do the crime, you have to be ready to pay the piper. And these drug using morons cannot use ignorance as an excuse. They KNOW it is a crime. It is puzzling why they think that their will is greater than the will of the country, and the law. The "if it feels good to me it must be ok" mantra that is prevalent in much of the younger generation is getting out of control.

Depends on the crime. and your first sentence has nothing to do with the rest of the question. In the rest you say "they know" they will be punished.\n\nIf you had no job skills, had to drop out of school, oe even if you didn't but had a readily available supply of a product in which you can make more than most exectives, would a couple years in jail deter you.\n\nIf you were hooked on a drug and the only way to support your habit was selling drugs or prostitution what would you do.\n\nIf you had a habit and you needed to support it, would you pick buying the dope or robbing a house.\n\nMany people do it when they know they will probably die, and many want to.\n\nAs long as their is poverty there will be drugs and prostitution. Actually the biggest users of cocaine are the rich. Why don't you think the threat of losing there job, family and everything they own doesn't deter them.\n\nMany crimes are crimes of passion. No one thought about what they were doing before they did it. recidivism for these type crimes are very low.\n\nIf you are poor and you have children and you don't make enough to live, are you going to steal, lie, or let your kid starve. That isn't much of a choice.\n\nWhite collar people commit bigger crimes than poor people, like Boeing, but the government is not going to touch them and the biggest thing that happens is a slap on the wrist.\n\nHow to deter it depends on the crime. Eliminate poverty, make some drugs legal, and throw the book at people who commit white collar crime instead of letting them get away with it.\n\nThe other problem is who does the crime. If you are Bush, the records are sealed when they arrange to get you out of a cocaine bust, or Kennedy who was prosecuted, but essentially walked away from what could be a negligent homicide, or Rush Limbaaugh walks away from prescription drug abuse of a narcotic, oxcodon. What message does that send to the rich? Think you could make a deal if you were poor. You would be in jail so fast.\n\nLook at Bush and his insider trading, and the rest of the Bush family who stole millions during the S & L scandal which we paid back 2.1 TRILLION dollars. Their penalty? NADA!\n\nI don't think there is a quick answer, especially the way the criminal and court system are set up. \n\nIf the law was really blind, which it isn't, perhaps a lot of crime would stop.

Pretty self explanitory- but it's crimes that are planned or "organized" by certain people, typically political figures & government officials or mobs, gangs.

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.

Washington State Drug Laws\nThe use or sale of any illegal or controlled substances is prohibited. EWU has a zero tolerance policy in regards to any drug-related issue. The following is a partial list of illicit drugs considered to be controlled substances by the state of Washington (CH.69.50): Narcotics (opium and cocaine, and all drugs extracted, derived, or synthesized from Opium and cocaine, including crack cocaine and heroin); Marijuana; Methamphetamine; Barbiturates; and Hallucinogenic Substances (LSD, peyote, mescaline, psilocybm, PCP, THC, MDA, STP). \n\nA. State Penalties for Illegal Sale of Controlled Substances The illegal sale of any controlled substance is punishable by up to 10 years in prison, $500,000 fine, or both, \n\nB. State Penalties for Illegal Manufacture or Delivery of Controlled Substances Narcotics: Up to 10 years in prison, $25,000 fine, or both. Non- Narcotics: Up to 5 years in prison, $10,000 fine, or both. \n\nC. State Penalties for Possession of Controlled Substances Possession of any controlled substance is punishable by up to 5 years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both. Possession of less than 40 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia are misdemeanors in the state of Washington. More severe penalties are provided for persons convicted of providing controlled substances to minors and for repeat offenses. Special sentencing provisions for possession of crack cocaine impose a mandatory prison term of not less than 5 years but not more than 20 years and a fine up to $250,000, or both if: \n\na) it is a first conviction and the amount of crack possessed exceeds 5 grams; \nb) it is a second conviction and the amount of crack possessed exceeds 3 grams; or \nc) it is a third or subsequent crack conviction and the amount exceeds 1 gram. Civil penalties of up to $10,000 may also be imposed for possession of small amounts of controlled substances, whether or not criminal prosecution is pursued.

A. Drug users need money, usually don't work (or can't, many employers won't hire a drug user) so they have to steal.\nB. Drugs make people do things they would normally wouldn't do, and make them more violent, so they could start a fight over nothing.\nC. Selling, buying and using drugs is illegal so it is a crime in it's self.

I can think of three major categories, depending on the severity of the crime.\n\nCivil infraction - speeding ticket, etc.  Not really a crime.\n\nMisdemeanor - crime punishable by less than a year in jail.  Some states have 'high misdemeanors' that are punishable by less than 2 years in jail.\n\nFelony - crime punishable by more than a year in prison.  Capital crimes are those felonies that are punishable by death (or life in prison).  Murder is the big one here.\n\nI guess you could also categorize crimes by victims/results splitting them up into property crimes, white collar crimes, violent crimes, vice (so called victimless crimes), etc..\n\nNot all criminals are created equal.

The laws are same as most other countries. If someone is caught with upto 2 gms of narcotic substance then he(or she) may face smaller sentence (usually 1 year). If someone is caught is more than 2 gms or several packets then he is considered as a dealer or seller and can be punished with harsher jail sentence (more than 3 years). Also, if the police finds evidence of someone funding purchase of narcotics then such people are also treated as sellers of narcotic.\n\nHowever, there are some forms of intoxication (that are as good as narcotics) like - Ganja (I am not sure what it is called in English) - that are in use for many centuries and no one is caught for smoking it.

Information you are looking is really hard to find, drugs are illegal so there isn't any legal refrence shows the amount of them, many of them like Amphetamines and LSD are lab products and don't import.\nThere are estimations but most of them are rough.
