Olive Branch, MS Possession of Marijuana and/or Paraphernalia Charges
While some states in the U.S. are beginning to reform marijuana laws, the possession of marijuana and paraphernalia in Mississippi is still a criminal offense.
If you have been charged with possession of marijuana or paraphernalia in Olive Branch, Mississippi, the effects likely stretch into every facet of your life—work, social interactions, and even family.
The punishment you may be facing if convicted depends on the amount you are alleged to have possessed, as well as the number of offenses.
For example, if you are charged with possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana, you may face a maximum fine of $250. However, 30 to 250 grams puts you at risk of a felony conviction, which can result in up to three years behind bars and a fine of $3,000.
If you are found to have marijuana in any part of your vehicle other than the trunk, it is an automatic misdemeanor charge, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted.
Possession of marijuana-related paraphernalia in Olive Branch brings more charges—a misdemeanor charge, to be specific—with penalties of up to six months in jail and a $500 fine if you are convicted.

Wesley Hisaw has represented me with my post divorce modification as well as a faultless MVA case. Divorce is never easy, but mine was exceptionally complicated and sensitive in nature. I was let down by my previous attorney and my trust in legal representation was broken. After my first consult with him, I walked out of his office with confidence in my case. I felt I was exactly where I needed to be and genuinely trusted he would help me, which he did! He is worth every penny and highly recommend! He has ALWAYS been there when I needed his legal guidance and support, extremely responsive and his assurance has never failed me!
