Will I go to jail if I was busted for smoking pot?

You will not get a jail term for smoking pot, but you should already know that. Your question does not make much sense so I cannot answer the rest of it.

You can or if it is your first offense then you might be able to be put on a form of diversion so you end up with no drug conviction on your record. A drug conviction can cause lots of problems in your life.

In California, possession of less than an ounce of pot is an infraction. The punishment is a $100.00 fine. Jail time cannot be a punishment for an infraction.

It depends upon how you were charged, and whether or not you have prior convictions for marijuana possession, or other drug violations. In WI, if you were written a municipal citation, or a State forfeiture citation, jail is not on the table. If you were charged with?misdemeanor criminal possession, jail and/or probation are possible, but not mandatory. If you have a prior misdemeanor THC possession conviction, a second or subsequent offense can be charged as a felony, and a felony is by definition an offense that you can be sent to prison for, although again, that is not mandatory. If you have prior drug offenses, you may be subject to enhanced penalties as a drug repeater. If you are charged criminally, you need more than a free answer, you need a lawyer. If you can't afford one, go see the public defender, as soon as possible.

It is extremely rare if not unheard of for a first marijuana offender to go to jail, although it is technically possible. Each county and judge deals with this in a different way. Some will place you on probation for a short period while others will merely assess you fines and costs. There is also a sentencing option for first offenders called 7411 which not only helps you keep the matter from being on your public record, but prevents any drivers license sanctions that are mandatory by statute.

It is possible to go to jail for most any criminal conduct. It is unlikely a first time possession charge will do the trick though.
