For more than five pounds of marijuana, you are guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment of not less than five years nor more than thirty years. If you manufacture or distribute illegal controlled substances in Virginia, you should also be aware the government can seize any property used in substantial connection with the drug activity. This can include your money, your car and even your house.

Accommodation: If you violate the law by selling, giving, or distributing marijuana but you prove you did it as an accommodation to another and not with the intent to profit, nor to induce the recipient of the marijuana to become addicted or dependent on the marijuana, you are guilty of a class one misdemeanor.

Sale of marijuana to a minor: If you are at least eighteen years old, and you knowingly or intentionally distribute marijuana to any person under eighteen years of age who is at least three years your junior, or if you cause any person under eighteen years of age who is at least three years your junior to assist in such distribution of marijuana you shall be imprisoned in a state correctional facility for a period not less than ten nor more than fifty years, and fined not more than $100,000. Under the statute, five years of the sentence imposed can not be suspended, in whole or in part for a conviction under this section involving one ounce or more of marijuana. Two years of the sentence imposed can not be suspended, in whole or in part, for a conviction involving less than one ounce of marijuana. more>>
