What are the legal ramifications of marijuana?

Answer 1

The laws of possession, sale, consumption and cultivation of the Cannabis plant (Marijuana) vary from state to state, and from nation to nation. Some nations or states may allow private use, but not sale. Some may also impose jail time, a fine, and in some countries even the death penalty. In the U.S. many states are beginning to allow private use of marijuana, mainly because of the fact that labeling someone a criminal for using marijuana does not make them use less, but in fact use more.
