An arrest for Marijuana possession at first blush might not seem like a big deal, however it can have huge consequences. Possession of Marijuana is a class b misdemeanor, which by itself typically leads to probation or a fine, however the consequences do not end there. Any conviction for marijuana also results in a 2 year license loss as well as possible loss of financial aid if the person is a college student. Fortunately for those charged the State has to prove that the actual substance was Marijuana, and they are often not able to do this resulting in frequent not guilty results. There may also be other alternatives that result in no conviction or license loss.
