What is the penalty for possession of less than 28 grams (PG3)?

• A. Class A Misdemeanor
• B. Class B Misdemeanor
• C. State Jail Felony
• D. Misdemeanor with no penalty

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that penalties for possession depend on the substance’s penalty group and the amount possessed. For a substance in Penalty Group 3, possessing less than 28 grams is charged as a Class A misdemeanor. That level carries up to one year in jail and fines up to $4,000, reflecting that even smaller amounts of PG3 substances are treated seriously, but not as severely as higher categories. If the amount were at least 28 grams, the charge would move to a higher penalty (such as a state jail felony or beyond) depending on the exact statute. So the correct choice aligns with the grading by penalty group and threshold amount.
