No. An officer has to physically see you holding it/drinking it in order to charge you.

No, even though some cops have used them and they've been busted and sent to rehab. As for the second person who answered, there is a way to "do" drugs without actually taking it. It's one of those classified information that the authorities do not want to divulge for obvious reasons.

Sure, but it has to be authorized by the physician.  If the pharmacy calls the  physician and it wasn't authorized, well, get some KY Jelly prior to being arrested.

Assuming you are in the UK: It is a Class A proscribed drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971.  If you are caught with it in your possession and it is a small amount, consistent with personal use, then you are likely to be cautioned the first time round and be taken to court on subsequent occasions. If it is a larger amount, then you could find yourself facing a charge of possession with intent to supply, for which the penalties are far more serious.  It isn't worth being caught in that position.  It could harm your prospects.

I am 99% sure that the answer is no.  If you are not on the tittle then you are not the owner of the home.  You should really double check with a lawyer if you are thinking of taking possesion.

No,  the state AMA would file a complaint and have the person arrested.  You could report the activity to the AMA if there is illegal activities going on

depending on the state and judge is what counts. In california many are given a citation with a court date.If minor has no prior history of possesion he could be given a fine to pay and/or community service.But dont worry about that start worrying of re ridding the use of the drug and the addiction

yes, but risky.  I would have just called the police.  Without evidence or witnesses, you could have been charged with theft...don't know your circumstances.

Touchy question.  In most states, if the police "bust" a party, and there are underage people with drinks in their hands, it certainly makes the police question whether that person was provided the alcohol by the host.  The burden would most likely then be on the host to prove that they didn't serve the minor, didn't know of the minor's alcohol consumption, and didn't approve of it.  The best policy for a property owner is not to allow any illegal activity to occur on their property, including underage drinking.

Defense for transporting pot is very hard to prove especially when the arrest was made on positive possession.  Anyway, there is a mitigating circumstance for admission, minority or turning as state witness.

Don't worry, if you didn't do anything you won't be charged with anything. Some people are questioned sometimes, but that's just to see if a charge is viable. I costs a lot of money and takes a lot of paperwork to charge somebody, so officers don't lay charges casually.

i guess you can get away with it long as you don't get caught in the act. But you'd be surprised how many people in Authority do drugs lol...\n\nthat's my theory...in some cases, police don't really trip off of marijuana...they confiscate it; then smoke it when they get home...

They are coming down hard in the War on Drugs. I would have to say it is a Fifth Degree Possession charge. Since they are a first time offender the punishment shouldn't be that stiff. Even an empty baggy with traces of an illegal drug is considered a small amount. Residue on a scale is also considered a small amount. My buddy had just gotten out of jail after 4 months and didn't realize there was a leftover empty baggy in her purse from months before. She got pulled over on a routine traffic stop. Since she was on probation that gave them a right to search. They found the empty baggy with traces on it. I write to her in prison now.

If the police saw the drug, then they will likely charge him with possession of a controlled substance. If it was a large amount, he may also face charges for intent to distribute.\n\nOf course, this begs the question. Why didn't he hide it under the seat or something?

If someone breaks the law they can be arrested.  If they haven't broke the law a fake charge can always be made up to arrest them.\n\nCoach

Yes.  One is usually charged with an infraction BEFORE appearing in Court on said offense.   To be honest, if it is a petty crime, then you may luck out, depending on your level of probation.  If you must report weekly, drug test, etc...then I'd tell my PO.  If you are on unsupervised probation, then you may get away with it.  I am a paralegal and thus, can NOT give legal advice, but these are the option I see.
