It depends on the quantity in possesion and state you are in. In states such as California, Oregon, and Washington small amounts are misdimenors; larger amount they may add Possesioin with intent to sell

if it is anything under an ounce of marijuana its a misdemeanor, and ounce or over is a felony. However some states such as Utah, marijuana is a felony despite the amount of possession
