Jaycee Chan, son of action star Jackie Chan, was sentenced to six months in prison after pleading guilty Friday to providing a venue for drug users.
In addition to his prison term, Chan will also have to pay a fee of $322.
Chan was arrested in August after police raided his Beijing apartment and arrested him and a friend. Both tested positive for marijuana use and police seized 3.5 ounces of the drug.
"I violated the law. I deserve to be punished. When I return to society, I won't do it again," Chan said during his trial.
Chinese President Xi Xinping has called for a crackdown on drug use as the country has seen a spike in the use of narcotics and other drugs.
The incident has been especially embarrassing for the elder Chan as he was appointed "Narcotics Control Ambassador" by Chinese police in 2009. At the time of his son's arrest, he said he was "ashamed" and "sad" about his son's actions.
