Facts About Drug Crimes in Tennessee

A first-offense simple drug possession is generally charged as a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and fines of up to $2,500. However, if you have two or more prior convictions you will be charged with a felony.

These charges involve small quantities of controlled substances such as marijuana, synthetic marijuana, opioids, cocaine, and other street drugs. Larger quantities are met with more serious charges and increased penalties. Possession of fraudulently-obtained prescription drugs are also charged according to quantity and whether sales and distribution were involved.

The following drug offenses are charged as felonies:

These range from Class A to Class E felonies with penalties ranging from one to 25 years depending on the type and quantity of drug, prior criminal history, and other statutory factors.

A drug conviction can also have other collateral consequences that impact:

  • Your ability to get a job and housing
  • Eligibility for federal educational aid
  • Your right to own a firearm
  • Any pending immigration processes
