What is the average punishment of possession of 1 ounce of marijuana?

As Appendix C makes clear, the punishment for possessing marijuana varies widely from state to state. Currently, the most lenient states are California, Maine, New York, Ohio, and Oregon. In those states, conviction for possessing a small amount of marijuana (usually less than an ounce) will result in a fine, but no jail time.

Regardless of which state you live in, the sentence for possessing marijuana depends on several factors, including: how much marijuana was found, how old you were when arrested, how many prior convictions you have, and the type of property you were on or near when the crime was committed. Needless to say, all these factors can make sentencing rather complex. In California, for example, when determining the sentence for marijuana possession, the magic number is 28.5 grams (roughly an ounce).

Regardless of your age, if you are convicted in California of possessing 28.5 grams or less of marijuana and have no prior convictions, you will be issued a citation, fined approximately $ 100, and (as discussed in greater detail below) lose your driver\'s license for six months. You will not be arrested and will not spend any time in jail so long as you have proof of your identity. In almost all states, the punishment for possessing marijuana is considerably harsher if your crime occurred on the grounds of an elementary, junior high, or high school when a school activity was in session.In such a case in California, if you possess an ounce or less, you will be fined a maximum of $500 and/or sentenced to 10 days in county jail.
