For the cocaine: (1st offense) 2-15 years in prison and variable fines depending on the amount of drugs. (2nd offense) 5-30 years in prison and variable fine

Additionally, for each charge, If you are convicted of possession, your driver's license will be suspended. If this is your first offense, there is a mandatory suspension of 6 months. If this is your second offense, you will lose your license for 1 year. If this is your third or subsequent possession charge, you will lose your driver�s license for at least 2 years.
