Schedule a ConsultationReceiving a marijuana possession charge can be detrimental to both your future and your freedom. At Buzgon Davis Law Offices, we can help guide you through this difficult time while providing the counsel you need. We have experience dealing with a variety of marijuana possession penalties, such as:
If you possess marijuana and do not have a medical card from a certified practitioner, the charges you face will vary based on how much you have in possession and your intent. If you possess marijuana for your sole use and not to sell or deliver the drugs to another, the following penalties apply.
Possessing less than 30 grams is a misdemeanor. Anything more than 30 grams can be a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the intentions of the individual in possession. Regardless, having over 30 grams of marijuana results in more severe penalties. If this is your first or second offense, it will also impact the penalty you may face. For example, if it is your first offense, you may face fines up to $5,000 and a year in jail. You may face up to $10,000 in fines and up to two years in prison for a subsequent offense.
Having marijuana paraphernalia, like smoking tools or growing supplies, in your possession can lead to a penalty. The extent of your penalty will also depend on whether you are using this paraphernalia or selling it. For instance, if you sell marijuana paraphernalia, you can face a fine of $2,500 and one year in jail. Selling paraphernalia to a minor or someone three or more years younger than you, however, can result in charges up to $5,000 and up to two years in prison.
Possessing marijuana with the intent to sell or deliver is a felony, according to Pennsylvania marijuana laws. If you are found guilty of selling less than 1,000 pounds of marijuana, you can face a fine up to $10,000 and up to five years in prison. Selling more than 1,000 pounds can result in prison time up to 15 years, as well as up to $100,000 in fines, even if it is your first conviction.
Selling to minors can result in a double penalty. Individuals can also face consequences, such as two to four years in prison, if they sell within 250 feet of a playground or 1,000 feet of a school.
