What Penalties Do I Face?

New Jersey has strict consequences for the possession, distribution and cultivation of marijuana. These penalties vary depending on the amount of the drug that a person is found with at the time of their arrest.

If convicted for possession, the following penalties can result:

  • For less than 50 grams, up to six months in jail and up to $1,000 in fines
  • For more than 50 grams, up to 18 months in jail and up to $25,000 in fines

Penalties for distribution are even more serious. A convicted person can potentially face a sentence of up to 20 years in state prison. If sold to a minor or a pregnant woman, these sentences double. Cultivation of marijuana carries the worst penalties, as a conviction can bring 20 years behind bars and a staggering $300,000 fine.

Building a Defense Against Your Marijuana Charges

If you are facing any sort of marijuana charge, consulting with an experienced attorney from my firm can help you more accurately evaluate your situation and determine the most appropriate defense strategy. Let me review your situation before it progresses any further and potentially out of hand.

Some of the issues that my firm will assess as we build a defense on your behalf include:

  • Whether there was probable cause to stop your vehicle
  • Whether or not the search of your person, home, or car was conducted in a proper manner
  • If there was enough evidence to establish distribution
  • If the proper chain of custody and testing of marijuana was conducted
  • Whether the state can prove the possession or control of the substance
