Max Fine up to $2500 and up to 11 months 29 days in jail. Minimum fine for first offense is $250. For it to be simple posession is must be less than a half ounce. This is taken from TN section 39-17-418. Read up on that code and then consider an attorney. Drug charges are permanent and must be admitted to employers, schools, etc. when asked. Good luck.

What are the penalties for a minor with simple possession of marijuana?

Possession is only a misdemeanor in the US. At worst, you'll get a fine. Unless you have multiple ounces, which I forgot the exact amount, then you will get a felony charge, and that's prison time. I think you'll get a felony charge because the court will just assume that's intent to deal, which is why is you have a scale on you, that's also a felony charge.


What happens when you get a marijuana possession citation?

It depends upon where you are (Like if your black or Mexican, if your white you get a warning, if your anyother color you go to jail). All state laws are different and local policies may vary. In most areas, a citation usually results in a simple fine. In some areas, the person may be required to attend classes on drug abuse. Whether it stays on your permanent record also varies by where you are. http://www.norml.org has a library where you can check the laws in your state.
