What would happen if you get caught with marijuana?
Find answers to your legal question.





What would happen if you get caught with marijuana?

Do you go to jail/face a heavy fine or both? And if it's going to jail, how long would you have to stay? And if there is a fine, is it a heavy fine?

marijuana almost has no punishment these days as long as it is a small amount. I am a police officer and I can tell you it is worse where i'm from for a minor to be drunk then be caught with marijuana. The worst would be a petty misdemeanor for having a small amount of marijuana.


Stop&Think
MORE will HAPPEN, than YOU, (at 13 or so y/o) want to DEAL with!

YOU may not get TOO much... depending on how HEAVY you get 'LEANED-ON', to find-out WHERE YOU got it!!!

YOU talk about 'going to jail', and 'how long', and if there would be a 'fine', and how 'heavy' the fine would be!

You haven't said a WORD about your parent(s)! Have you thought about THEM??? Or, are they a REASON for YOU to be 'wondering'?

I'm 'sorry', but it sounds to ME, like YOU need some HELP! and SOON!!!

YOU should NOT be asking the questions that YOU are asking! YOU are NOT asking about what it's like to be 'high'! YOU are asking what 'happens' if you get CAUGHT!!!

PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE, do NOT go there! I don't know WHERE you ARE, but I KNOW, that there is HELP, CLOSE to you!

PLEASE, get HELP!!! For every 'story' you can tell me about a 'quick-buck' (if they haven't TOLD you yet... THAT is where they will GO) that YOU can tell me, I will give you TWO that will tell you how to MAKE it With-Out, or In-Spite-of!

I'm HERE! You can 'talk' to me!

Good LUCK!!!

it all depends on the state and the amount of pot in your possession. In most states a small amount is a misdemeanor and the probability of jail time would be dependent upon your record. I have been caught in possession 3 times, less than an ounce each time, first offense I was in the army and I got 30 days in jail, second offense in Michigan I got 30 days and 3rd offense the cop dumped it out on the ground and I got nothing.

If it's a small amount, you might just have to pay a fine. Depends on the laws where you live.

Both, smoke away, and tell Bubba NO!

Depends on the amount you were caught with. If it's under the legal limit, you could just face detention which is a weekend in jail. If over the legal limit, you will face jail time and a hefty fine. BE MORE CAREFUL! You know how society treats us recreationalists.

im gunna say... its prob not worth it.. yes you can go to jail and if you have enough on you it can be considered trafficing.. check your state laws tho

Well, I live in BC so I'd probably just offer to share the joint with the cop and all would be good.


Butterfly Fairy
nothing happened to me! at all


grass_hopper122
yes you go to jail.but here in my city in new orleans police plant it on people just to bring them to jail for the fun of it.the police here are crooks.


Hansan11
depends how much you have i guess
i would guess it wouldnt be too big of a fine
but if a cop pulls you over cause they think ur high
they cant legally look in personal bags and stuff like backpacks or suitcases (at lest from what i heard)
so honestly i dont know but...yah

You would go to jail unless you are extremely lucky. Doubt that. It would depend on how much you had on whether it is a misdemeanor or a felony. Sentences start at 2 years and end in 60 and up. Fines start at $250. These things do depend on your State and their laws and guidelines.


you need help i have answers
