In many cases, younger drug offenders can avoid the worst criminal sanctions, but when an adult over the age of 21 sells controlled substances to a person younger than 17, they can be charged with Criminal Sale of a Controlled Substance to a Child (NY PL 220.48), a Class B Felony that carries a sentence of five to 25 years.

This will have to be disclosed to potential employers, landlords, and even colleges. It doesn’t have to be that way.
