Marijuana Penalties

Under state law, possession of 20 grams or less is a first degree misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in jail and a $1,000 fine.

Growing any amount of marijuana is a felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. The same applies to possessing more than 20 grams, or selling any amount up to 25 pounds.

Sale of more than 25 pounds constitutes trafficking, and carries much stiffer penalties.
