In the State of Florida (and as a matter of federal law)
Marijuana is a scheduled / controlled / illegal substance, and in Florida
(everywhere in Florida) "simple" possession of any amount of
marijuana is a crime.
If you possess
less than twenty (20) grams of marijuana then your offense is a misdemeanor
(for which you can be either physically or paper arrested) and if you possess
twenty (20) grams or more of marijuana then your crime is a felony (which
requires booking into a jail facility).
Recently some local jurisdictions (like Miami-Dade County
and the City of Miami Beach) have passed local ordinances which seek to
effectively decriminalize misdemeanor possession, offering police the
discretion to issue a "civil infraction" (a payable fine which
carries no criminal record) instead of making an arrest (paper or
physical). It is important to note that
while these acts are commendable, until the Florida Legislature "wakes up
and smells the sensimilla" and repeals the statute which criminalizes
possession (F.S. 893.13), possession of marijuana, even in small quantities, is
a criminal act subjecting you to arrest, prosecution and a criminal
record. (And, even still, if Florida State
law changes the feds must also alter their schedule so as to make marijuana
possession "safe" across the board.
Until then there is always risk, even in "marijuana-friendly"
States such as Colorado and California.)
