What is the penatly for weed in your state?

"Possession of two ounces or less of marijuana is punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a fine up to $2,000."

 

Same here in good ole' Texas
But when i got caught i was able to make a deal with the judge, after waiting 3 days to get bailed out
Had to do 24 hours of community service, drug classes, pass 2 UA's
and my records sealed
But if i get caught for a similar offense within 2 months
I go to big boy county jail for two years
So I'm tryin to play it safe for a bit

Kansas laws seem pretty strict. I was caught once about eight years ago, but the cop was really cool. He just told me to throw my pipe into some bushes, and then he let me off without a ticket or anything.

 

none really.. if its under an ounce.. it usually gets thrown away. or you get a hundred dollar ticket.

 

i also live in mass...so ya its a 100 dollar fine

decriminalization is awesome...weed is pretty much legal in our state now...and a shitload of us blaze...sooo many closet smokers

 

Peace out.

Louisiana sucks.

 

I live in mass also, I heard that if you have over 5 grams you can increase your chances of getting an Intent To Distribute charge against you. But i really don't know because iv'e never been busted by police ever.

 

that is OBVIOUISLY NOT TRUE...who the hell makes up these ridiculous rumors??? are u in high school?? thats the only place i can imagine u heard that...as long as the weed is in one bag then you are fine...unless u got over an ounce with you

 

Does anyone know the penalty for possession of less than an o in Ontario?

 

In Oregon, less than 1 oz is a violation with a $500 - $100 fine. More than 1 ounce jumps up to a Class B felony, $150,000 fine and up to 10 years in jail =/

 

I live in VA

The penalty in VA is crucifiction

If they find weed on you you will be crucified and a redneck named Billy bob will throw beer cans at you...

Last person who got caught with MJ died of exposure in the county courthouse...

i live in mass, so a slap on the wrist

 

in the UK, confiscation and a warning.


"The Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) confirmed last night that the current policy of "confiscate and warn" would continue, despite Gordon Brown's determination to reclassify the drug in an attempt to "send a tough message" to young people about its use....

....An Acpo spokesman said last night: "The key will be the discretion for officers to strike the right balance. We do not want to criminalise young people who are experimenting." However, he stressed that cases involving "aggravating factors" were more likely to see an arrest and prosecution."

new york isnt that bad

 

I live in chicago and I haven't ever been close to being caught -- but I hear it's pretty lax in the city. In illinois itself [depends on if you're caught by local or state] but state is like 2 years probation and 1 grand in fines.


It's essentially a slap on the wrist up to 28g, but everything else is felonious.

I've also heard that being honest with Chicago Cops if they ask if you have anything is usually the better choice. The attitude is pretty much that they have a lot more serious things to be dealing with, and if you're going to lie to them you'll just piss them off and give them a reason to take you in

 

Jersey its a misdemeanor for under 2 ounces I believe. You get arrested and booked, but are usually released that night without need for bail. Comes to about $850 in fines, and 1 year probation with drug testing. First offenses can get your record sealed after probation for $1200.

They usually drop little things like paraphernalia. They will drop DUI stuff if you were just in the car not driving. I have heard of people being let go by the cops, of course after all their goodies are confiscated.

Subsequent offenses can grab you up to a year in jail. You can also expect to not have any charges dropped, and to need bail.

If it jumps to Felony ranges (2+ oz/growing/selling), you are going to County for a few years.
