Yes, you could potentially get county jail or state prison
sentences for some of these, and, in WI, even the simple THC possession could
be felony if you had a previous drug conviction or had commercial amounts of it
with you. If the 3rd count was heroin or other opioid (among other things),
that too would be a felony. Here, even personal use THC possession is therefore
still a grave matter (unlike in all of WI's neighboring states, where it has
been decriminalized). You therefore urgently need seasoned local criminal
defense counsel if you care about your future. The sooner you get counsel
onboard, the more the lawyer can do for you so don't delay or go to the public
defender's office if you can't afford one. Just because you could go to jail doesn't mean that you have to go there, if you protect yourself properly, with experienced counsel.
