That depends on the state. I got caught in WA with less than an eighth of an ounce and a pipe, and I got a $500 fine plus 2 days in jail. In Nevada, simple possession can get you 1-4 years if you are under 21.

Alaska isn't really a republican state. They just lean that way because Republican is closer to Libertarian than Democrat is. They actually are quite progressive in the personal liberties department. It comes from being a state full of rugged individualists.
