Colorado law permits adults 21 and older to possess up to two ounces of recreational marijuana in private. Here are five things to know about when possession becomes a crime: 1) If you are caught with up to two ounces of pot in public, you can be cited for a drug petty offense, carrying up to $100 in fines and up to 24 hours in community service. 2) Possessing more than two ounces up to six ounces of marijuana in public or private is a level 2 drug misdemeanor, carrying three to 12 months in jail and/or fines of $250 to $1,000. And possessing more than 6 ounces of marijuana is a level 1 drug misdemeanor, carrying six to 18 months in jail and/or $500 to $5,000 in fines. 3) Common defenses to marijuana possession charges are that you never had actual or constructive control over the drugs, that the police entrapped you, or that the police found the marijuana through an illegal search. 4) Drug misdemeanor convictions can be sealed from your criminal record two years after the case ends. And drug petty offenses can be sealed one year after the case ends. And if you complete a diversion program and the case gets dismissed, then you can get a record seal immediately. 5) Employers can fire job applicants and employees for testing positive for marijuana, and federal law still prohibits possession of any amount of marijuana. But in practice, the feds rarely prosecute recreational users. COLORADO LEGAL DEFENSE GROUP If you or a loved one is charged with a crime we invite you to contact us at Colorado Legal Defense Group.
