if it was a small amount no, that is a misdomenor, ignore that other dude, pot is a great thing. GOD PUT POT ON THIS PLANET NOT ALL THOSE PERSCIPTIONS THAT ARE LEGAL....there is no case of someone dieing from pot, only the actions caused by the affects....pot is the most natural "drug" and it is only illegal because the government cannot tax you for it. they can tax perscriptions........its all about the gov. making money off you

Most drug offenders who are sent to prison are either convicted of Class B offenses (e.g. the sale of any amount of cocaine, regardless of how small) or are second felony offenders convicted of offenses in Classes B-E. The Drug Law Reform Act commendably expands the sentencing options for a first-time Class B offense to include a split sentence of prison and probation. But the lowest sentence that could be imposed on a second felony offender convicted of a Class B felony is a sentence of two and one-half to five years in prison, unless the offender is eligible for diversion to a substance abuse treatment program. In many cases, such a prison sentence would be excessive, yet the Act does not permit a shorter sentence. Nor does it permit alternatives to incarceration for offenders who are not addicted and do not qualify for substance abuse treatment programs. \n\nIf mandatory prison terms are to be retained, the Act should be amended to further reduce the minimum sentences, giving judges a wider sentencing range from which to select the appropriate sentence.

Depends on the circumstances of the case. If you got more charges that are more serious, you can probably plead guilty on those charges if the prosecution takes away the marijuana charge. If it's just the weed charge, you're sh'it out of luck. And I'm sure no lawyer will even try to get rid of it since it's so small and trivial now (compared to the more serious stuff that's going on).

Yes, and do an expierament on your own. Watch the news and see what people are influenced by when they commit crimes. Not all crimes, but crimes that can be contributed to an substance. Hard illegal drugs(No not pot!) , Alcohol, and Prescriction Drugs. How many crimes are reported that people are under the influence of Weed?

According to the Texas Criminal And Traffic Law Manual, a first offense of DWI is considered as a class B misdemeanor
524926
The designation of crimes as Class A or B misdemeanors is pretty arbitrary, the main difference is in punishment:\nClass A is punished more then Class B\nExamples Of Class A include:  Dog Fighting, False Alarm or Report, Abuse of Corpse etc etc\nExamples Of Class B include: Failure to Identify, False Statement to Obtain Property or Credit, Issuance of Bad Check etc etc \nThere are also Class C Misdemeanors for really minor offenses like: Illegal Recruitment of an Athlete, Assault in a fight by mutual agreement, etc etc.\nJust look it up in the Penal Code if you want to know what crime is which class(link in the source area)\n\nTex. Penal Code § 12.21  (2005):\n  An individual adjudged guilty of a Class A misdemeanor shall be punished by: \n   (1) a fine not to exceed $ 4,000; \n   (2) confinement in jail for a term not to exceed one year; or \n   (3) both such fine and confinement.\nWhile, Tex. Penal Code § 12.22  (2005) says:\n§ 12.22.  Class B Misdemeanor\n\n\n   An individual adjudged guilty of a Class B misdemeanor shall be punished by: \n   (1) a fine not to exceed $ 2,000; \n   (2) confinement in jail for a term not to exceed 180 days; or \n   (3) both such fine and confinement.

In my part of the world it's called "malicious mischief", and it is a class C misdemeanor, punishable by a fine. It is an arrestable offense, but probably would not be enforced by an arrest. Wouldn's stop you from being a jerk for doing it though.

Filing a false report is a class c misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 30 days in jail and $1,250 in fines. These sorts of things are often lowered to "violations" though, meaning that you would just pay a fine.

As far as I know, there is no CLASS 5 FELONY.\n\nAfter Class 4, they become HIGH MISDEMEANORS.

Probably a violent/illegal substance/sex crime or any felony. Then again this is Oregon we're talking about.

First time offenders are still offenders. Illegal substances, are still illegal substances. Just because a few in the minority feel it is "ok" with them, is not a reason to grant easy sentences for the illegal activity.\n\nFace it... Pot is still illegal and until it is legalized, prison time for offenders of the written law is deserved.\n\nPrisons are over-crowded, but this is not an excuse to let people off. The prisons are over-crowded because too many in today's society think that their opinion is greater than the masses or greater than the law. Those who break the law best be prepared to pay the piper.

Which felony drug charge?

He faces both Kansas felony charges and Federal charges.  Chances are he will be indicted on a charge of transportation of marijuana accross state lines, because the federal charges carry a much stiffer sentence, and the federal system doesn't use parole.  However, its a felony at either level.

Charges vary by state. In Texas the charge is called "Failure to Identify  " and I believe it is a class b misd.\nThat means County Court and probation.

Yes, Pancha. Felonies are serious crimes. A federal offense (ie; illegal border crossing) is considered a felony.

Yes, marijuana is a drug.\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=drug\n\n Is marijuana a narcotic? Well that depends on how you define narcotic. If you define it as a class or schedule rating of drugs for the law, it depends what country you are in. In the US, marijuana is classed as a schedule I drug, in the same category as heroin. Some people want to have it reclassified.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabis_rescheduling_in_the_United_States\n\n So it is classed as a narcotic. The meanings of the word narcotic are here:\nhttp://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=narcotic\n\nIf you are asking if marijuana is harmful or addictive, the debate is ongoing. Different people and groups define addictive in different ways. Look it up. \nI have tried it in the past, wouldn't do it now.
