Arrested for possession or sale of marijuana?

- Prison or jail time

- Mandatory drug awareness courses

It is important that if you have been arrested you take immediate steps to protect your rights and freedoms.

What are the penalties for marijuana-related crimes?
In Idaho, the penalties for a marijuana crime will vary depending on the amount of marijuana found on you or in your possession, as well as the intended use for the drug. If you were found with less than 3 ounces you could be charged with a misdemeanor and face up to one year in jail. From there, the penalties greatly increase and anything equaling or over 3 ounces of marijuana could be charged as a felony crime and you may be sentenced to five years in prison.
If it can be proven by prosecution that you had the intent to distribute the drug, you will automatically be charged with a felony offense and you could see thousands of dollars in fines. Prosecutors do not take these offenses lightly, and it is important that you immediately work with an attorney after an arrest.
