The United States of America is fighting a war against drugs. Pennsylvania like all other states has strict drug laws with severe penalties. Penalty for drug crimes in Pennsylvania is usually a prison term, a fine or a combination of both. The penalty for a drug crime in Pennsylvania depends on various factors including prior conviction and the quantity of drug found on you when you are arrested. The penalties are more severe if you are intending to sell the drugs in your possession. Growing or cultivating drugs carries more severe penalties than mere possession. You penalty will also be more severe if you are arrested with drugs near a school.

• Transporting drugs across a state line
