Criminal Sale of Marijuana (Marihuana) in the Fourth Degree (NY PL 221.40) in Rochester is the allegation that you knowingly and unlawfully sold marijuana in an amount between two and 25 grams.
This doesn’t have to be for money, but rather for “consideration,” which can mean nearly any type of exchange.
Criminal Sale of Marijuana in the Fourth Degree is a Class A Misdemeanor, which may carry a sentence of up to one year in jail.
In many cases, these charges can be reduced, dismissed entirely, or defendants can ask the court to use an alternative process, such as Adjournment in Contemplation of Dismissal, to get a result that will leave you without jail or even a criminal record.
