According to the California NORML website, “As of January 1, 2011, possession of one ounce (28.5 grams) or less of marijuana is an infraction punishable by a maximum of $100 fine (plus fees) with no criminal record.” As long as you were not intoxicated while you were driving (which it does not sound like you were), the worst penalty you can receive for marijuana possession in Cali is a fine of $100. It’s always a good idea to consult an attorney to discuss how you should plead though.
