Marijuana

There are a host of Arizona laws that prohibit the illegal use, transportation and sale of marijuana. Even though there are some instances when marijuana can be used for medicinal (medical marijuana) purposes, it is still considered a controlled substance by law. Those caught breaking these marijuana-related laws face serious consequences if arrested and convicted.
Marijuana crimes in the state of Arizona typically fall into one of the following categories:

• Possession for use – If you are found to have even a small amount of marijuana on your person or at your property and it appears that you intended to use it for recreation, you can be arrested and face harsh penalties including time in prison and steep fines.
• For sale – A person caught with a certain amount of marijuana with an indication of intent to sell will be arrested and charged with a class 2 felony, which could lead to up to 10 years in prison.
• Growing or manufacturing – Even though the crime of growing marijuana is not always considered as serious as selling it, you will still face harsh penalties if convicted, including up to nine years in prison.
• Trafficking – This is a very common crime in Arizona and is classified as a class 3 felony. You can be arrested and charged with marijuana trafficking even if the amount is very small.
