There are other sentencing things to keep in mind. If you were arrested for drugs in your car, you could lose your driving rights. Possession of drug paraphernalia could carry criminal charges and people arrested with large amounts of a controlled substance could be charged with an attempt to distribute charges that can be charged as felonies.
