Drug Possession

The possession of narcotics not prescribed by a doctor or sold over the counter is illegal in the state of California.

The penalties for drug possession vary depending on the individual aspects of the crime, but first-time offenders can serve up to one year in jail and be ordered to pay a $1,000 fine (or serve community service). A second-time offender may be ordered to pay a $2,000 fine or serve community service if he or she is unable to pay the fine.
