In Maricopa County Arizona 8 grams and a scale will most likely be charged as possession of marijuana for sale and result in a prison offer. In other counties prison may not be required as the marijuana is below the threshold amount. If the charge is merely possession of marijuana for personal use as a first offender you will get probation statewide.
