What happens if you are caught in possesion of a class A drug?

if the drug is solely for personal use - not for supply?

For the first offence it's up to the court to consider, don't automatically think that if it is your first offence that you will get off lightly.

The maximum penalty for being caught in posession of a class A drug is seven years imprisonment and/or a fine.

For posession with intent to supply, life imprisonment and/or a fine.

If you want help, check my source. I went to an NA meeting yesterday morning, and the speaker had just been to his 29th funeral in two years.

What really happens is that this crime will follow you for the rest of your life, meaning when you go look for work expect a lot of rejection...

I suggest you hire a good lawyer who can get it reduce to a lesser charge....If it's your first offence.

You'll be arrested and charged with possession with intent to distribute, possession of drug related items.

In most states, depending on the drug you'll a mandatory minimum.

You'll get to go to a Class A prison.

For a long time, not for visitation.

Misconception there is no legal right to class A drugs even for personal use you will be charged and get a fine or community service if the amount is small larger amounts get time!

Just a slap on the wrists and a hefty fine (if 1st offence)

EDIT: Most people on here are scaremongering, I would bet my right nut you will only get a fine
