Re: Cannabis

I believe that the penalty is 30 days to 6 months in jail, and or a fine and costs. But, you do not have to plead guilty. Especially if you are actually a first time offender, it is possible for you to get supervision or deferred sentencing or some other disposition which will avoid you serving any time. If you are in the greater St. Louis metropolitan area I may be able to help you. You can call me for a free telphone consultation at 314-727-2822.

30 days to 6 months. Get an attorney - they can help you possibly plead to a lesser offense or otherwise.

This is a Class B misdemeanor and is punishable by 30 days to 6 months in jail. If you had more than 10 grams it is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by 6 months to a year in jail. Please call us if you are interested in representation in this matter.
