What is the minimum amount of marijuana needed for an FDIN number?

• A. Any Amount
• B. One gram
• C. Five pounds
• D. Zero grams

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is that an FDIN number is a tracking identifier used for drug-related enforcement events, and it applies whenever marijuana is involved, regardless of how little there is. In field practice, any seizure or even any confirmed possession of marijuana typically requires creating an incident record with an FDIN so the case can be tracked, documented, and linked to evidence, records, and potential prosecutions. Because the system is about documenting all marijuana involvement, there isn’t a minimum weight threshold to trigger an FDIN; even a trace amount warrants the entry.

So the smallest possible amount that still engages the process is any amount at all. If there were no marijuana involved, there would be no FDIN associated with that event.
