Possession of Marijuana for Sale – Sentencing and Punishment
Unlike simple possession which can be charged as either a misdemeanor or felony depending upon the circumstances of your case, possession of marijuana for sale is always charged as a felony. If you are convicted of possession of marijuana for sale under California HS 11359, you face a sentence of 16 months, 2 or 3 years in county jail and a maximum fine of $10,000.
Court Options at the Time of Sentencing
If you are convicted of possession of marijuana for sale, the court has discretion in determining your punishment depending on the circumstances of your case. The court has the following options at time of sentencing:
The court can sentence you to 16 months, 2 or 3 years in county jail
Impose a fine of up to $10,000
Place you on probation and impose a sentence of up to one year in county jail
Place you on probation with no jail time, but order you to do community service, a work release program and attend drug counseling or substance abuse classes
Place you on formal probation and assign you a probation officer
Probation Terms
When you are placed on probation the court will impose specific terms of probation that apply to the crime for which you were convicted. These terms of probation will include:
Violate no law (other than a traffic infraction)
Visit your probation officer as often as required by your probation terms
Perform community service
Attend drug counseling or drug diversion programs
Random drug testing
These are only a few of the probation terms that a court can impose. If you are found to be in violation of any of these terms, the court can sentence you to the maximum time allowed by law.
