Question: What would happen if you were stopped by a police officer with less than 28.5 grams of pot in your car?

Answer:

Possession and use of marijuana can be either a felony or a misdemeanor depending on how much of it you have and whether you intend to sell it, are producing it, or are transporting it with intent to sell.

 

Possession of marijuana that you intend to sell is a felony.

Possession and use of marijuana can result in probation, attending classes on the harmful effects of drugs, and performing community service. (A.R.S. § 13-3405). There's also a good chance that you'll also lose your driving privileges in addition to having to pay a minimum of $750 in fines.

Penalities for using, possessing, selling, or transporting marijuana increase if you have more than two pounds.

Marijuana is always going to be used by teenagers and people of all ages, so i think we should just make it legal so there will be more room in the jails for murderers and people of that nature.
