Marijuana regulations are different in every state. It is important to know the subtle differences. Buying, selling, using or growing marijuana is illegal in every part of the US. Penalties vary from state to state, however typically consist of prison term, a fine or both. Beyond the misdemeanor DUI-contraband penalties, Georgia law has other more tough penalties for possession of drugs when marijuana or other drugs are found in a vehicle or someone’s pocket. A “possession” offense can be committed by a person driving a car, or by a person not operating a car. Your driver’s license may be suspended upon a guilty plea or a conviction for possession of drugs, although you were not driving when at the time of arrest. This law has been upheld by the Georgia Supreme Court after an appeal on challenges to its constitutionality.
