Teen Law 101: Penalties imposed by the courts for breaking drug laws are very severe, ranging from probation or driver's license suspension to long prison terms and heavy fines. South Carolina outlaws the possession, consumption and distribution of illegal drugs. South Carolina and federal laws classify drugs based on their dangerous effects, potential for abuse and potential for addiction, as well any accepted medical (non-recreational) benefits they provide. The legal classifications of "controlled substances" generally determine the severity of the penalty for breaking the drug laws.
