Penalties for Drug Possession in South Carolina

Drug possession is a serious criminal offense in South Carolina. If you are convicted of possession of a controlled substance, you could face serious penalties, including jail time and hefty fines. In addition, a drug possession conviction can have a significant impact on your reputation, your ability to get a job, and your ability to obtain financial aid for college.

In many cases, the police do not need a warrant to search your home, your car, or your person. If you are pulled over for a traffic violation, the police can search your vehicle for drugs. If you are suspected of a crime, the police can search your home and your person for drugs. If you are arrested, the police can take a urine or blood sample from you to test for the presence of drugs.
