Drugs seem to be a part of the human condition, because even the Bush family partakes at times.
No, I'm not talking about W's famous coke use.
According to CNN in 2002, Noelle Bush attempted to obtain Xanax with a fake prescription and was arrested.
While in rehab, she was found to be in possession of 2 grams of cocaine according to another article. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeb_Bush
Even though this was her second drug related offense, Noelle received only 10 days in jail.
Within a five minute google search of case law I found that a man named Leon Wiley was sentenced to 10 years for possession of 1.6 grams of watered down coke, or crack--which is simply cocaine and baking soda cooked together.

LESSON: THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY OR JUSTICE IN OUR DRUG LAWS. IT'S ALL ABOUT WHO YOU ARE, WHO YOU KNOW, WHAT COLOR YOUR SKIN IS, and WHAT KIND OF LAWYER YOU CAN AFFORD
