Punishment for possession or selling of marijuana varies from state to state. In California, if you’re caught with less than 28.5 grams, you get a misdemeanor, no jail time, and a $100 fine. So basically, you get a slap on the wrist. Anything over that, you will most likely get 6 months in fail and pay fine of at least $500 and have a misdemeanor on your record.
Selling any amount of marijuana is completely illegal. It’s a felony and you’ll get 2-4 years in jail. If a minor is selling and gets caught they’ll get a misdemeanor and no jail time. Any amount sold to someone under or over 14 years of age get 3-7 years in jail and a felony record.
If you’re caught growing any amount of marijuana you automatically get a felony and will spend up to 3 years in jail. I mean like that doesn’t seem like that big of deal. If people are so against it and it’s so wrong, you’d think they make it a really bad punishment or something.
With the “War on Drugs” and all concern for how marijuana is connected to crime and violence, the government sure doesn’t give too harsh of a punishment. It’s almost like its okay to have it on you, but you really shouldn’t because it is illegal.
I mean…not that I’m going to wave my pot around or leave it out in the open for people to see, whether I’m at my house or in my car or wherever, but I’m not going to be so worried about keeping it hidden or too obvious—assuming what I’ve got is under the “legal” amount!!!
