There is no such charge as “drug abuse”. There are only laws against “sale”, “use (being under the influence of)”, or “possession” of drugs. Penalties for the sale of drugs are the most severe; those for mere possession are the lightest.
If you are charged with possession and you didn’t actually have anything on you, you could fight the charge in court with some possibility of prevailing. Otherwise your best option is to plead “not guilty”, then immediately accept whatever “deal” the prosecutor offers.
