Drug crimes, in New York, are prosecuted according to: the severity of the crime, the type of controlled substance, the intent behind the crime, and the number of prior violations for the accused. In misdemeanor class crimes, or crimes where there is possession without any intent to deliver the controlled substance, the penalties can result in large fines and up to one year in a state penitentiary.
