What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York

A friend of mine and his girlfriend, both underage (17), have been catched with a few grams of heroin. They both have absolutely nothing on their record so far, and are no regular drug users, but well, now they're charged for possession and maybe use of this substance.

What consequences and sentences are to expect here, since they are both under the age of 18? Thanks in advance.
