In Indiana, possession of marijuana is a Class A misdemeanor, carrying a jail term of no more than 1 year. However, if the amount of marijuana is more than 30 grams, or if the person has a prior conviction involving marijuana, then it becomes a Class D felony. The jail term for the felony is between 6 months and 3 years.
