Here are some important facts you need to know regarding drug possession law in Alabama.
Unlawful possession of a controlled substance (UPOC) is a class C felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, but no less than a year and a day. Additionally, a defendant could receive a fine of $5,000.
Possession of marijuana in the second degree is a class A misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in prison and a fine of up to $2,000. This would be a first-time conviction for possession of marijuana. The second conviction, and any subsequent conviction, is a class C felony. Upon conviction, the Alabama Department of Public Safety will suspend your driver's license for six months.
