What is the penalty for possession of a controlled substance as a minor?
You’re either looking at a felony for possession of a controlled substance or a misdemeanor for possession of a prescription medication without a prescription. How you’re charged is up to the DA. As a first offender, you may be eligible for a diversion program, but it depends on the court and the specific charges against you. All this is assuming you’re forced to take a deal. You may have search issues, legal defenses, etc. Discuss the facts, possible defenses and consequences with your attorney.
