There is no such thing as felony marijuana possession in California, unless it is possessed for sale.
Possession for sale (Health & Safety Code �11359) and cultivation (�11358) both have a maximum sentence of three years. Sale or transportation (�11360) has a maximum of four years.
With one prior strike under the Three Strikes law, the sentence would be doubled and the person would have to serve 80% of the sentence, not half time. People with strikes are not eligible for probation.
