A Pennsylvania drug conviction can cost you your freedom. The amount of your freedom you lose can depend on a number of factors, including the drug in question (marijuana, cocaine, meth, club drugs or illegal prescription narcotics), the amount of drugs, your criminal history and other factors.
The main difference between a state conviction for drug charges and a conviction for federal drug charges mainly depends on the arresting agency (state authorities vs. the federal DEA) and the prison you will be sent to if convicted (state jail vs. federal prison). Although state and federal agencies work together and often both are responsible for a drug arrest, the agencies decide whether the state or federal government will prosecute the drug offense.
