Knowingly possessing, using, producing, or transporting more than one ounce of marijuana or doing so for sale is illegal. Marijuana possession is illegal in Arizona unless you have a medical marijuana license or are above age 21 and possess no more than one ounce, of which not more than 5 grams can be in the form of marijuana concentrate.<\/p><p>As of 2020, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azleg.gov\/ars\/36\/02852.htm\">ARS 36-2852<\/a>, simple possession is no longer a charge. An individual over 21 years of age can possess cannabis, a weed pen, wax pen, or another form of weed as long as they possess no more than one ounce of marijuana, with no more than five grams in the form of marijuana concentrate. Individuals are also now allowed to cultivate up to six plants for private, personal use.<\/p><p>Past this amount, ARS 13-3405 outlines harsh penalties for marijuana offenses in the state. However, the specific penalties will depend on the nature of your possession and other additional circumstances around it, like whether you were driving under the influence, smoking in public, or intending to sell.<\/p><p>Potential penalties include:\u00a0<\/p><ul><li>Possessing more than an ounce but not more than 2.5 ounces of marijuana is guilty of a petty offense<\/li><li>Possessing marijuana not for sale with a weight of more than 2.5 ounces but less than two pounds is a class 6 felony<\/li><li>Possessing more than 2.5 ounces but less than two pounds of marijuana with intent to sell is a class 4 felony<\/li><li>Producing more than six marijuana plants or up to two pounds is a class 5 felony<\/li><li>Transporting more than 2.5 ounces but less than two pounds of marijuana is guilty of a class 3 penalty<\/li><\/ul><p>Some of the punishments associated with marijuana possession include a fine of at least $750, community service hours, court-ordered courses on the dangers of narcotics and other drugs, and, in extreme cases, up to seven years of jail time.<\/p><p>These penalties can become more severe depending on the circumstances of your case and the amount of marijuana you possess at the time of discovery.
