  6.  
  7. Here's a compilation of all the state laws regarding marijuana
  8. possession....
  9. Hey everyone,
  10.     Just got my information packet from NORML. Very responsive!
  11. I called their 1-900-97-NORML line last week, and requested
  12. some specific information, and here it is. I HIGHLY recommend
  13. EVERYONE to give it a call. There is a lot of good information
  14. there. (You can even speak to a LIVE NORML person during normal
  15. business hours.)
  16.     Anyways, back to the subject of this message. I got a copy
  17. of ALL the state laws regarding marijuana possession/sale/
  18. distribution, so I am going to repost SOME of it here. If you want
  19. a paper-copy, call NORML. Any questions, e-mail me.
  20.  
  21. Notes: This chart contains the penalties for first offense
  22. possession, cultivation, sale and delivery of marijuana. Most
  23. states have increased penalties for subsequent offenses.
  24.  
  25. Many states also have enhanced penalties for involving minors
  26. and offenses within a certain distance of schools, parks, and
  27. other recreational areas.
  28.  
  29. Any amount for possession generally means for personal use.
  30. Possession of large amounts of marijuana will, in most cases,
  31. lead to charges of possession with intent to distribute (same
  32. as sale).
  33.  
  34. Units of weight vary from state to state.  For comparitive
  35. purposes: One ounce=28.35 grams; one pound=453.59 grams; and
  36. one kilogram=2.2 pounds.
  37.  
  38. Except where otherwise indicated, sentences are in years.
  39.  
  40. Except where otherwise indicated, fines are maximum amount.
  41.  
  42. 'C': State allows for the conditional release or alternative/
  43. diversion sentencing of first-time possession offenders.
  44. 'D': States where marijuana is decriminalized to some degree.
  45. Please see note on Alaska. (At end of file)
  46. 'M': State has enacted legislation recognizing the medical
  47. use of marijuana for certain ailments such as glaucoma, nausea
  48. associated with chemotherapy and AIDS treatment, and some
  49. spascticity and neurological disorders.
