If you appear in Okaloosa County Court and enter a plea that results in the conviction to an enumerated drug crime, such as Possession of Marijuana, you face some harsh penalties.
Even for a misdemeanor possession of marijuana charge, you may face a combination of jail and probation for one year while losing your driver’s license for two years. That’s right: TWO YEARS without a driver’s license.
In addition, a conviction to possession of marijuana carries with it additional consequences that could mean:
-
- Loss of a college scholarship and financial aid.
- Loss of your job, including your professional license or certification.
- A permanent drug charge on your criminal record.
- Fines, Court Costs, Community Service, Supervision Fees, Random Urinalysis and Drug Screens, Monthly Reporting Probation, Drug Evaluation, Drug Classes, Individual Drug Treatment or Drug Counseling.
