Depends on source.
The American sources will say you typically get off with a bribe. Generally that’s based on it being an administrative offense for possession of up to two grams of hashish and is typically used to extract bribes from people.

On the other hand because she is charged with trafficking she would typically get jail for trafficking. But even the her sentence is above normal.
