  2. Marijuana is "illegal" According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, marijuana is the most commonly used illegal drug in America (marijuana is "illegal" in the sense that it is a controlled substance under federal law, with no recognized legitimate value). Despite the federal classification, some states have passed medical marijuana laws permitting possession under certain circumstances; and some state laws have decriminalized marijuana, making possession of small amounts punishable by fines or treated as infractions, rather than as crimes that carry potential jail sentences.

  3. Primary Factors Affecting Punishment • State or federal jurisdiction • Legalization • Decriminalization • Medical marijuana

  4. Marijuana Possession Penalties Depending on the factors listed above, the penalties for possession can include: • a fine (typically up to $2,000) • jail time (typically less than one year in jail) • mandatory drug testing • drug awareness classes • probation, and • electronic monitoring.
