What if a friend got caught with marijuana around you?

alright so next year im planning on living with my friends who smoke quite often.

My concern is that if my friends get caught by the cops, would i be in trouble for it too? i dont smoke and i dont intend to. I just dont want to be in trouble for their stupidity.

We would all have our own separate rooms and everything. but i would appreciate the info if you know anything about it.

It all depends on the situation. If your friends confess that it belongs to them, you won't. If no one claims it, you'd all be in trouble. My advice is that you don't live with them.

The only bad thing that could happen is your landlord would kick you out along with them. You cant have possession of anything if it isnt in your room. even if they get caught, and you get a summons as well, you could plead not guilty and they wouldnt have anything on you.

go weed!!

I take a criminal law class and I'll tell you this rule on possesion.

If the marijuana isn't physically on the persons body then yes, you will get in trouble for constructive possession because it's in the house itself and not on one individual person.

also you would/may get charged with knowing possession and mere possession as well.

hope this helps!

yeah, if he got caught, and you're with him, you'd get in trouble too.

yeah dont worry you will be cool, actually they probalby wont get in much trouble either, just make sure none of the stuff is in your room
