What is Felony Marijuana Possession?
Felony marijuana possession refers to the criminal charge filed against individuals found with quantities of marijuana that exceed the legal limit established by Nevada law. Unlike misdemeanor charges, felony charges involve more severe penalties and consequences, impacting legal status and future opportunities. In Nevada, the classification of a marijuana possession charge as a felony is influenced by several factors:
- Quantity of Marijuana: Possession of large amounts, typically exceeding 100 grams, may result in felony charges.
- Previous Convictions: Repeat offenders or individuals with prior drug-related convictions may face felony charges.
- Intent to Distribute: Possession with the intent to sell or distribute marijuana rather than for personal use can escalate the charge to a felony.
What are the Penalties for Felony Marijuana Possession in Nevada?
The penalties for felony marijuana possession in Nevada can be severe and vary based on specific circumstances. Potential consequences include:
- Imprisonment: Sentences can range from 1 to 4 years in state prison, depending on the quantity and intent of possession.
- Fines: Fines can reach up to $5,000 or more.
- Probation: Probation may be imposed instead of or in addition to incarceration. It includes strict supervision and regular check-ins with a probation officer.
- Criminal Record: A felony marijuana possession conviction results in a permanent criminal record, which can affect employment prospects, housing opportunities, and more.
- Loss of Civil Rights: Felony convictions may lead to the loss of certain rights, such as the right to vote or possess firearms.
