Understanding Drug Crime Penalties in Virginia 

The penalties for drug crimes can be severe and far-reaching. If you are convicted of a drug crime, you can face serious penalties that will affect your life for years to come. 

The consequences of a drug crime conviction can include:

• Fines
• Restitution
• Community service
• Jail time
• Probation
• Loss of professional licenses

You can face additional penalties if you are caught with a large quantity of drugs, if you are caught with drugs and a firearm, or if you are caught with drugs and a minor. These charges can be even more serious, resulting in many years in prison and the loss of your rights as a citizen.

Increased Penalties for Drug Crimes with Minors

You can face additional penalties if you are arrested for a drug crime and a minor is present. For example, if you are in possession of marijuana and a minor is in the vehicle with you, you can face a Class 1 misdemeanor. This offense is punishable by a $2,500 fine and up to 1 year in jail. If you are caught with marijuana and a minor in the home, you can face a Class 2 misdemeanor, which is punishable by a $1,000 fine and up to 6 months in jail.
