In the State of Illinois, some of the crimes that are most harshly investigated and charged are drug crimes.
Among drug crimes, heroin is at the top of the list when it comes to the harshest penalties received.
It is likely to end up with felony charges for possessing as little as 0.05 grams - charges that could leave you with a $25,000 fine and up to three years in prison.
Fifteen grams of heroin carries a mandatory prison sentence of no less than four years and no more than 15 years with a fine of as much as $200,000.

When it comes to Illinois state law, drug crimes are some of the most harshly punished around.
In fact, possession of a controlled substance in Illinois is a felony criminal offense, which means that you could find yourself facing prison time and steep fines if you were to end up on the wrong side of drug law.
This is all set forth in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, 720 ILCS 570/1 et seq.
With felony offenses, the typical sentence is at least one year of prison time - but depending upon the type of drug and the amount you are carrying, you could end up with much more prison time as well as several hundred thousand dollars' worth of fines.

In the state of Illinois, drug crimes tend to be handled particularly aggressively and are harshly punished.
That means that any kind of drug charge is potentially a serious one, and is not one to be taken lightly.
This is true even of prescription drugs, which might be a bit surprising to those without a background in Illinois criminal law.
In fact, the number of arrests made for the possession of legal medication without a prescription that is up to date and valid is rising.
It's worth noting that the number of individuals arrested for possession of legal medication with a valid prescription is also on the rise.
