Possession of more than 30 grams of marijuana can get you charged with possession with intent to deliver/distribute.

For selling to a minor, those penalties double to a $5,000 fine and up to two years in jail.
If you are a first time marijuana offender, you may only be sentenced to probation without a verdict. For two-time or multiple offenders, the penalties for possession of marijuana could double.
Possession of marijuana is a crime. Any criminal conviction can follow you for the rest of your life, impairing your ability to get credit or obtain employment.
