POSSESSION OF STEROIDS – BEING CHARGED IN PENNSYLVANIA
Anabolic steroids are very popular and common in gyms. From athletes and bodybuilders trying to improve their performance to amateurs and the average Joe seeking to improve his looks, steroid use is fairly common. However, possession of even a small amount is enough to suffer the harshest penalties.
Steroids are considered a Schedule III drug. Although most people do not consider steroids as dangerous as street drugs it is considered a controlled substance in Pennsylvania. Punishments are comparable to much harsher drugs such as cocaine or methamphetamine.
An arrest is not a conviction.
If you find yourself under arrest for possession of steroids contact an experienced Pittsburgh drug defense attorney immediately.
At Shrager Defense Attorneys, we will fight your charges to keep your record clean.

PUNISHMENT FOR POSSESSION OF STEROIDS
For a first time offense, the punishment for simple possession of steroids is a misdemeanor carrying a penalty of up to one year in prison, a $1,000.00 fine and loss of your license for a period of up to six months.
Any subsequent offense would increase your jail time. For example, a second offense would carry a penalty of up to two years and jail and a third time offense up to three years in jail with increased fines.
If you have a large amount of steroids in your possession, you could be charged with Possession with Intent to Deliver (PWID) which carries very harsh penalties.
