    Default First Drug Offense

    Often for a first drug offense involving mere possession there are sentencing alternatives available which allow you to avoid a criminal conviction. You may wish to discuss your options with a local criminal defense lawyer.

    Quote Quoting New York Penal Laws ยง 221.10 Criminal possession of marihuana in the fifth degree.
    A person is guilty of criminal possession of marihuana in the fifth degree when he knowingly and unlawfully possesses:

    1. marihuana in a public place, as defined in section 240.00 of this chapter, and such marihuana is burning or open to public view; or

    2. one or more preparations, compounds, mixtures or substances containing marihuana and the preparations, compounds, mixtures or substances are of an aggregate weight of more than twenty-five grams.

    Criminal possession of marihuana in the fifth degree is a class B misdemeanor.
