Legal Sanctions for Unlawful Possession and Distribution of Illicit Drugs and Alcohol

It is not possible to exhaustively list all the applicable laws pertaining to controlled substances and alcohol. The following summary is provided as a guide. Adelphi University assumes no responsibility for changes to or errors in interpreting local, state or federal laws.

Federal

The tables for federal penalties and sanctions are listed in the guide. In addition, students convicted of possession or sale of a controlled substance face a period of one year or more of ineligibility for federal grants, loans or work assistance. Second and subsequent convictions result in ineligibility for five years.

State

New York State law has a variety of sanctions for the criminal possession or sale of controlled substances, as well as criminal possession of a hypodermic instrument, criminal injection of a narcotic drug, criminally using drug paraphernalia, criminal possession of precursors of controlled substances and criminal sale of a prescription for a controlled substance. These offenses range from a Class A misdemeanor to a Class A felony with penalties ranging from a fine to 15 years.

New York State law also deals with possession and sale of marijuana. Up to 3 ounces of cannabis (or 24 grams of concentrated cannabis) is legal for those 21 or older. Despite the changes to state law, the use, possession and sale of marijuana on University campuses remains prohibited under federal law. Unlawful possession of marijuana (greater than 3 ounces) is a violation punishable by a fine of up to $100 for a first offense and up to $200 for a second offense, a fine up to $250 and/or 15 days imprisonment for a third offense, or a fine up to $200 and 90 days imprisonment for use in a public area. Criminal possession or sale of marijuana offenses range from a Class B misdemeanor to a Class C felony with penalties ranging from a fine to 15 years imprisonment.

New York State regulates the use of alcohol. It is against the law for a person under 21 to possess alcohol with the intent to consume and is punishable by a fine and/or completion of an alcohol awareness program and/or community service. A person under 21 who uses a fraudulent proof of age may be fined and ordered to perform community service. If a driver’s license is so used, the license may be suspended and reinstated with restricted use. Procuring for or giving or selling alcoholic beverages to persons under 21 is an offense punishable by a fine and/or imprisonment. Operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs is a crime punishable by fine and/or imprisonment.

New York State’s Zero Tolerance Law applies to a person under 21 who operates a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.02% or more, but not more than 0.07%. Procedures include an administrative hearing punishable by a license suspension for six months and a civil penalty of $125. If you have any prior alcohol-related traffic offenses on your record, your license will be revoked for one year or until you reach the age of 21, whichever is longer.

Local

It is a violation of local ordinance to possess or consume alcoholic beverages in public and is punishable by a fine and/or imprisonment.

Alcohol Effects

Alcohol consumption causes a number of marked changes in behavior. Even low doses significantly impair the judgment and coordination required to drive a car safely, increasing the likelihood that the driver will be involved in an accident. Low to moderate doses of alcohol also increase the incidence of a variety of aggressive acts, including spousal and child abuse. Moderate to high doses of alcohol cause marked impairments in higher mental functions, severely altering a person’s ability to learn and remember information. Very high doses cause respiratory depression and death. If combined with other depressants of the central nervous system, much lower doses of alcohol will produce the effects just described.

反复饮酒会导致依赖。突然停止饮酒可能会产生戒断症状，包括严重焦虑、颤抖、幻觉和抽搐。戒酒可能会危及生命。长期大量饮酒，特别是在营养不良的情况下，也会对大脑和肝脏等重要器官造成永久性损伤。

Mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy may give birth to infants with fetal alcohol syndrome. These infants have irreversible physical abnormalities and mental retardation. In addition, research indicates that children of alcoholic parents are at greater risk than other youngsters of becoming alcoholics.
