n Kentucky, possessing a small amount of marijuana is a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $250 and up to 45 days in jail. A conviction can still follow you for years and affect jobs, housing, professional licenses, and immigration status.
If this is your first or second misdemeanor possession charge, you may qualify for deferred prosecution, which can lead to your case being dismissed (see our [Deferred Prosecution page]). Even if you were already convicted, you may be able to have the conviction expunged, meaning removed from your record.
