Cannabis is a Schedule I controlled substance. Under the national Controlled Substances Act, possession of one ounce or less carries a maximum fine of $50; more than an ounce, up to 2.2 lb, carries up to three months and a $500 fine. Each of the four states — Chuuk, Pohnpei, Yap and Kosrae — also has its own criminal code, so treatment varies.
