Federal sentencing acknowledges not only the amount of marijuana, but also past convictions.
Low-level offenses, even with many prior convictions, may end up with probation for the entire sentence of 1 - 12 months, and no jail time required.
Possession of over 1 kg of marijuana with no prior convictions carries a sentence of 6 - 12 months with a possibility of probation and alternative sentencing.
Over 2.5 kg with no criminal record carries a sentence of at least 6 months in jail;
with multiple prior convictions, a sentence might be up to 2 years to 3 years in jail with no chance for probation.
