As always, the punishment for the offense of possession of marijuana depends on a variety of factors. The particular state's law, the circumstances of the charge, any prior arrests/convictions, and the availability of diversion programs will all have an impact on the eventual outcome.
There are no set punishment or sentences for criminal offenses. The court must consider the facts and circumstances of the offense, relevant law, the defendant's history, and any other mitigating or aggravating factors.
If the crime is committed for commercial advantage, malicious destruction, private commercial gain, or in furtherance of any criminal act, the punishment is a fine and/or imprisonment for up to five years for a first offense.
It's less painful than any other form of capital punishment.
How?? Well, capital punishment is essentially the death penalty. If a person who is an extreme danger to society is executed then therefore they cannot create any more damage or commit any more crimes. In other words, decreasing the amount of crimes committed.
