Alabama Marijuana laws and predicted sentence?

Question

Ok. I was caught with like just one gram of marijuana months ago. I go to court tomorrow about it. I am pretty nervous. I am 18 and this is my first charge ever.I made sure to get the drug out of my system so i stopped like a month ago, so i am clean. I was wondering if anyone knew the laws and sentences of the act. I live in Huntsville, Alabama. (Which is Madison County). So if anyone can help me just answer back. Thank you!

Answer 1

You'll probably just get a fine cuz they caught you for the first time. Oh and by the way, the weed ain't of your system if you've stopped smoking it one month ago. Marijuana stays in your system for about 9-10 weeks!

Answer 2

The guy that told you you will p**s hot for 9-10 weeks doesn't know what he's talking about.

It will leave your blood quicker than it will your urine..

If you are in decent shape, don't consume alot of fatty foods(THC collects in fat cells) and watch your sodium levels there's no reason it can't be out of your system in 2 weeks at the most.

Excercising and drinking lots of water will help you clean out your system.

I've had to take drug tests for work and probation, every time I smoked anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks prior to the test and passed.

In hindsight, I think I should've just abstained from smoking.. I was cutting it close and taking a big risk.

As for your sentence.. I went through a similar ordeal in Texas and they gave me deferred probation for 9 months, and I had to take drug awareness classes and alcoholism classes(even though I don't drink, was never involved in an alcohol related crime).. 40 hours community service, had to donate 25 dollars to crimestoppers..

It's an industry dude, and they're going to get their money out of you, or they'll send you to jail and you'll get to be apart of the sheriffs forced labour.

The good news is you can apply for an early dismissal from probation when you complete all your stuff.. I only did 3 and a half months, but I completed everything within the first month..

For me it was

700 dollar fine

200-something dollars for court costs

25 dollar crimestoppers donation

25 dollars a month for probation fees(add another 25 when I had to do a U.A., which was only administered once)

40 for a drug evaluation

650 for both the classes

Less than a pinch of pot cost me around $1665 dollars.
