With more than three decades of combined experience, our Norman criminal defense lawyers possess a thorough understanding of Oklahoma law to guide you through the complexities of the criminal justice system.

Possession of Marijuana Penalties

Marijuana possession is considered a misdemeanor on the first offense. This misdemeanor carries a maximum jail sentence of one year and a fine of up to $1,000. However, if a person possesses marijuana and is arrested within 1000 feet of a school or in the presence of any children under 12 years of age, the penalties could double.
