New York’s drug laws are known as the "Rockefeller Laws" and are some of the toughest in the country. Under these laws, many drug crimes carry maximum penalties of life imprisonment.

Charges of possession for relatively minor amounts of marijuana can also result in jail time and steep fines. Drug crimes cover a wide range of charges, including:
There have been amendments to New York’s Rockefeller Laws recently, but these laws still require the courts to impose serious sentences for some types of drug possession including crack cocaine, heroin and cocaine charges.
