The amount of pills makes no difference. It all depends on the weight of the pills in total. If you’re caught with a small amount for personal consumption, there is a mandatory 90 days in county jail unless the judge agrees to divert you to drug court (if you have a past record of drug abuse).
With the amount you have, you’re likely looking at a 10 year sentenced, where you’re out in a year and a half to two years. It varies depending on the case.
And that’s just for the adult.
No one would be able to tell you what it would be for a minor because they base sentencing on the approximate age. It’s also up to the judge.
If you want a complete answer, you need to give a complete question. 🙂
