 Does your drug charge mean jail time? Look, anytime you're dealing with a criminal charge, it's serious. Criminal charges, by definition, can result in jail time. So I don't want you to say, oh, it's no big deal, it's only drugs. But I also don't want you to find yourself sleepless every night because, oh my god, it was drugs. I'm going to jail. Nothing is guaranteed. You need a good lawyer because a good lawyer can help you work through the process. The process could include jail time, but it doesn't have to. And depending on what you were found with, depending on what kind of history you have, is this your fifth, sixth, seventh time, or is this the first time you've ever gotten in trouble, you aren't necessarily looking at jail time. You are likely looking at some sort of probation, and really ultimately at the end of the day, it's up to your lawyer to negotiate those terms. So make sure you have a good lawyer, but don't go to bed every night worrying about spending the rest of your days in jail. It's not a guarantee.
