Federal penalties for simple possession on the first offense __________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question states that it is asking about federal penalties for simple possession on the first offense, and none of the options provided accurately describe the penalties set by federal law in this context. The actual penalties for first-time simple possession offenses vary based on factors such as the type of drug possessed and the quantity, but they generally involve a fine and/or imprisonment for no more than one year (21 U.S.C. § 844(a)). The penalties do not make distinctions between schedules of drugs or involve community service for one week. While some states may have their own penalties for drug possession offenses, the question specifically asks about federal penalties.
