What is the difference between fine and penalty?
A fine is imposed by a court when you are convicted of a criminal offence. A penalty is issued by an appropriate authority when you have not complied with the law but you have not committed a criminal offence. This means you do not get a criminal record e.g. parking and fare evasion. If you fail to pay the penalty, you will have to go to court and may then have to pay a fine and get a criminal record.

How long does a drug conviction stay on record?
Forever, if a "legal" adult (depending on the state, NC if you are a second older than the age of 16, you are no longer considered a juvenile on your criminal record). It is only a myth that convictions go away on your criminal record. Any and everything you are ever charged with will stay on your criminal record, even if found not guilty or if the charge is dismissed. It will state so on your criminal record. Let's say you are charged and arrested for misdemeanor larceny and you go to court, the judge tells you to do 30 hours of community service and pay a fine, then your charge will be dismissed. Your criminal record will still state the offense date, type of offense and dismissed. Or if you take it to trial and some how you "beat" this charge your criminal record will still state the offense date, type of offense and not guilty. The only thing that can be counted against you are offenses you are found guilty of. Although they will always be on your criminal record!
