There are many, many variables as others have mentioned above but, despite what anybody may say to the contrary, if you're a non-white and low-income your sentence will be longer. What else would you expect from drug policies that are firmly rooted in racism and bigotry? It's no coincidence that more blacks and Latinos are locked up for drugs, it's by DESIGN.

Depends on the amount and whether it was rock or powder. Also whether it is state charges or federal. Example: 1st offense, less than a gram, probation and drug counseling. It only goes up from there. Good Luck.

Usually depends on how much. I want to say over a gram will land you a few years.

It's usually a felony, so Jail time is limited to the amount of time necessary to find space in the penitentiary.

Depends on how much of the stuff you have on you when arrested, whether you are a user, or a dealer, and if this is your first offense, or whatever.
