Virginia Civil Possession of Marijuana Lawyer
Virginia law drastically changed on July 1, 2020. Simple possession of marijuana changed from a misdemeanor offense into a civil penalty only.
If you are found guilty of possessing marijuana, the maximum penalty is a $25 fine. That’s it. Instead of possible jail and suspension of your driver’s license, you just pay a $25 fine, and there are not even court costs.
You still may want to defend your marijuana charge, since a conviction is still part of the public court records.
