Question by Sam: What are the punishments of a drug abuse charge to a minor?
I am 14 years old and got caught with prescription drugs and the police charged me with drug abuse. I will be going to court soon, what will my punishment be? I know it can vary, so if you give me the least to the most harsh that would be so helpful.

It depends on the your state court. But minors caught for illegal drug related crimes are usually put under treatment and not punishment. In other states, their parents will receive the punishment since they are held responsible for the behavior of their kids.
