Cocaine and crack cocaine are Class A drugs, which carry heavy legal
penalties:
For possession: If you are under 18, your first offense would probably just be an overnight in juvenile hall. Over 18, your first offense could be 1-2 years in prison! A second offense could take a huge penalty of up to 7 years in prison and a fine of 2000-4000$.
For Selling: You get up to 10 years in prison, and a 7500-10000$ fine. It’s even worse if you were selling in a school zone or to people lesser than the age of eighteen.
