Would the incarceration rates of marijuana decrease if it was legalize?

Yes. People are incarcerated because Marijuana is currently illegal. This is in my opinion the real danger of using the drug. Should it be legalized then consumption/possession would no longer be a crime and people should no longer be incarcerated for it. Unless you live in a country like the United States, where state and federal law can sometimes conflict.


What are the consequences for a student caught with marijuana?

Possession of marijuana is a crime. If the possession was detected near or on school grounds, additional charges are filed in addition to "possession". If the quantity was an amount sufficient to qualify as "intent to sell" (even if the student never sold drugs or intended to sell), the charges again will probably be increased to intent to sell. The student would likely be arrested and would need to appear in court to make a plea of guilty, not guilty, or nolo contende and then receive a sentence. There are many variables in sentencing.


What is the past tense of arrest?

Can a corporation who paid property taxes on land owned by someone else for 25 years claim adverse possession?

No, payment of property taxes alone does not typically establish adverse possession. Adverse possession usually requires exclusive, continuous, open, and notorious use of the property without the owner's permission. Simply paying property taxes on another party's land does not meet these requirements.


Can you get in trouble for smoking weed along time ago and you dont smoke anymore If you were to tell a teacher or police officer?

No, you cannot be arrested or prosecuted for drugs you have consumed in the past (unless you still have the drug, or drug paraphernalia, in your possession). You cannot even be arrested or prosecuted for saying that you still use drugs (again, as long as you don't still have the drug, or drug paraphernalia, in your possession). I mean, what would their evidence be? It's just your word against theirs, and you could just claim you were lying.

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?

Yeah- that is a pretty adult amount. That quantity of drugs would result in a charge of possession for distribution- since no one would have 53 lbs of marijuana for personal use- not even Willy Nelson.

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.
