What kind of punishment will I be facing if I am charged with possession of marijuana, but I have a medicinal marijuana card?

A marijuana card is not a get out of free jail card. A marijuana card does not allow you to carry an unlimited amount of marijuana. Typically, anyone who possesses 28.5 grams or less of marijuana is guilty of a misdemeanor and will be fined up to $100. If the defendant has been previously convicted of possession of marijuana three or more times, the court shall divert and refer him for education, treatment, or rehabilitation to an appropriate community program which will accept him.
