Marijuana and New Jersey State Laws
Know the law. Marijuana is an illegal substance. Simple possession, use or being under the influence of marijuana in New Jersey is 0-18 months in jail and a fine of $500 to $15,000. Use or possession with intent to distribute, 0-10 years in jail, and a fine of $750 to $100,000. There is a penalty of mandatory loss of driving privileges of at least 6 months upon conviction of many drug offenses, for example, possession of drug paraphernalia such as pipes, sifters, and spoons.
In addition to foregoing fines, every defendant convicted of any drug offense or who goes into a diversionary program must pay a mandatory penalty ranging from $500 to $3000 and a mandatory $50 laboratory charge.
