“Connecticut has decriminalized marijuana. In general, decriminalization means no prison time or criminal record for first-time possession of a small amount for personal use. This conduct is treated like a minor traffic violation.”
– Norml at http://norml.org/laws/item/connecticut-penalties#decriminalized
Possession of Pot
Possession one-half ounce or less results in a civil penalty of $150 to $500 (first and second offenses)
Possession of more than one-half ounce is a misdemeanor with a fine of up to $2,000 and up to one year of jail time
Hash and Concentrates
Rules are the same as for marijuana
Paraphernalia
Having paraphernalia to use for ingesting for smoking results in a civil penalty for less than one-haft ounces and a misdemeanor for more than one-half ounce
Driving and Marijuana
This state has a per se drugged driving law enacted. In their strictest form, these laws forbid drivers from operating a motor vehicle if they have a detectable level of an illicit drug in their bodily fluids above a specific threshold. – Norml
