Prohibiciones sobre drogas en zonas escolares libres de drogas

Explicación Simple

No puedes usar ni vender drogas cerca de las escuelas. Si lo haces, puedes recibir un castigo más severo que si lo hicieras en otro lugar.

Es como si estuvieras en un área de juegos donde no se permite comer chicle. Si decides hacerlo, las consecuencias son más graves que si estuvieras en la calle.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan está vendiendo marihuana cerca de su antigua escuela. La policía lo atrapa y, aunque si lo hiciera en otro lugar podría tener un castigo menor, en este caso, enfrenta una pena más dura por estar en una zona escolar.

Penalidades

Las violaciones pueden resultar en penas más severas, incluyendo un año adicional de prisión y multas de al menos dos mil dólares.
