Penalties For Drug Crimes In South Carolina

In South Carolina, drug crimes are classified as either a felony or a misdemeanor. Felony charges are reserved for more serious offenses, and carry harsher penalties upon conviction. If you are convicted of a felony, you will face a lifetime of consequences as a result of your conviction. But don’t be fooled. A misdemeanor drug charge can create serious consequences too.

The penalties for drug crimes in South Carolina include:

  • Misdemeanor charges like simple possession come with penalties of up to 30 days in jail and up to $1,000 in fines.
  • Felony charges like possession with intent to distribute come with up to 5 years in prison, with longer sentences for successive convictions.
  • Trafficking charges are higher-degree felonies and punished with up to 15 years in prison on a first offense.

All these penalties escalate upon subsequent convictions, but they also escalate depending on the substance the defendant is accused of possessing or trafficking. For instance, crack cocaine is prosecuted far more harshly than marijuana.
