Drug Possession Penalties in New Hampshire
Depending on a wide range of factors, such as the type of drug involved, the amount, and the intent of the individual in question, the penalties for a drug possession conviction can vary greatly. In New Hampshire, drugs are classified based on how addictive they are. For example, marijuana is among the mildest class of controlled drugs and, as such, the penalty for possession is typically not as severe compared to the penalties associated with more dangerous and addictive substances.
Here are some of the drugs targeted as serious offenses in the state:
- Fentanyl
- Heroin
- Prescription drugs, such as opioids
- Cocaine and crack cocaine
- Methamphetamine
- Synthetic marijuana
- Hallucinogens such as LSD and psilocybin mushrooms
If you are caught in possession of hard drugs, such as cocaine or heroin, the penalties of a conviction can be severe. For a first-time offender, a conviction will be treated as a Class B felony, punishable by up to seven years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000, depending on the specific circumstances of your case. If you receive any subsequent convictions for similar offenses, you may be sentenced up to 15 years in prison and fined up to $50,000. Moreover, it will be considered a Class A felony.
