There are a few reasons someone may not be arrested for marijuana possession, such as if the possession is decriminalized in their state, if they have a medical marijuana prescription, or if law enforcement prioritizes other criminal activities over low-level drug offenses. Additionally, some jurisdictions have diversion programs or policies that offer alternatives to arrest for minor drug offenses.

Would the incarceration rates of marijuana decrease if it was legalize?
Yes, legalization of marijuana would likely lead to a decrease in incarceration rates related to marijuana offenses, as many individuals currently incarcerated for marijuana-related crimes would no longer be prosecuted. Legalization would also reduce the number of individuals entering the criminal justice system for non-violent possession or distribution of marijuana.

Simply paying property taxes on another party's land does not meet these requirements.

If someone is arrested for possession of marijuana less than two ounces and then extradicted to another county within the same state on a warrant for burglary of a vehicle?
The legal term "extradition" only applies when a prisoner is moved from state to state - NOT county to county within the same state. Both offenses occurred in the same state under the same system of state law. The arrestee would be charged for the marijuana possession in the county in which he was apprehended, and then returnd to the other county for the vehicle burglary.
Would a minor be trialed as an adult for possession of 53 lb. of marijuana?

Can you be a cop with a marijuana charge?
This would depend on where you were and how much "weed" you had in your possession. In most states, possession of less than an ounce (27 grams) of marijuana is a very low-level offense for which you can be issued a citation to appear in court, but not physically arrested. You could be physically arrested if you were in a state that had stiffer penalties for possession of marijuana, had more than the law considered "personal use," were driving while smoking or while under the influence of marijuana, or didn't have identification in your possession. The officer has to have positive identification before he can issue a citation.

Why would one participate in a marijuana rehab?
It's important to make the distinction between use and abuse. Marijuana, alike alcohol, can be used recreationally without permanent side effects on people's everyday lives and routines. People do indeed go to rehab for marijuana, the statistics for this is highly controversial in the U.S. as many adolescents will, after being arrested for possession, be either offered a spot in rehab or one in jail. Obviously, many choose the former. Marijuana is physically addictive to a degree, but most people who develop a marijuana addiction use it as means of self-medicating, and it is rarely, if ever, the physical aspect that keeps the addiction going. So to your question, yes, people do certainly go to rehab for marijuana. It is a potent intoxicant and should not be underestimated.

How much jail time can you get for sellling 30 grams of marijuana?
That depends greatly on the state. In Texas, possession of marijuana punishment is dependent on the amount (based on ounces), and Texas does not have a possession with intent to distribute for marijuana. I believe many other states to increase the punishment for intent to distribute even with marijuana. I would suggest you look to the penal code of your state, or possibly re-post the question to include the state.
