In Union County, possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana is a disorderly persons offense, and a conviction carries penalties of up to six months in prison and $1,000 in fines. The phrase ‘under 50 grams’ includes even the tiniest trace of marijuana. So whether you are found with a pipe containing resin, a marijuana seed, a joint roach in your ashtray, or a nickel bag, an arrest will result.

Simple possession charges are often coupled with additional charges such as possession of drugs in a car, possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
