A conviction for a marijuana OUI carries the same penalties as a conviction for one involving alcohol, and depends largely on whether you have had any prior OUI convictions in the past ten years:

Fines License Suspension Jail Sentence
First Offense Minimum of $500 150 days No mandatory minimum
Second Offense Minimum of $700 3 years Minimum of 7 days
Third Offense Minimum of $1,100 6 years Minimum of 30 days
Fourth or Subsequent Offense Minimum of $2,100 8 years Minimum of 6 months

These are just the baseline penalties, though. Any of the following aggravating factors can enhance the penalties in your OUI marijuana case:

  • Refusing to submit to a breath or blood test for your BAC;
  • Evading a police officer or refusing to pull over for a traffic stop;
  • A car accident resulting in serious bodily injury or death;
  • Driving more than 30 miles per hour over the speed limit; or
  • Being arrested with a passenger in the car who was under 21 years old.
