Lesson Overview

14.13 – Drug-Free Zones and Why It Matters: Drug-free zones are areas where penalties for drug crimes are automatically higher. These include schools, parks, libraries, and public housing. The idea is to protect children and communities from drug activity. If you’re caught using, selling, or even carrying drugs there, your sentence increases. You don’t have to know it’s a drug-free zone for it to apply. Some states double or triple the punishment in these areas. These laws also allow police to search and act faster when drugs are reported near them. Courts rarely show leniency for offenses in these zones. Understanding where these zones are helps people avoid serious legal trouble they didn’t expect. It also shows how closely the law protects public spaces.
