    printer friendly version

    Question: If a friend has pot and you are with him, can you be charged with possession of marijuana?

    Answer: Anytime you are in the presence of someone performing an illegal act, like possession or use of marijuana, you face the possibility of being charged with the same illegal act. In Arizona, as in most states, criminal liability can be based on the conduct of another person. This is referred to generally as accomplice liability, and requires that the accomplice either aid, abet, encourage, or provide the opportunity for the other person to commit the crime.

    I am in high school and most of my friends smoke weed. I have never tried weed before. I see it being used just as commonly as ciggarettes. I just walk away for a few minutes while my friends get high. But what people don't realise is that in high school, where most kids start to smoke weed, you can easily avoid being charged along w/ the person who posses it. All you have to do is deny any knowledge of it. What can they do? They can't prove you knew your friend had it. I think people, especially the older ones, need to use common sence. Times have changed, laws have changed.

    I have been smoking everyday or every other day for the past two years, I first tried it when I was 13 I am now 20. I was top 10% in my graduating Class, President of my class and I am on the Deans list in college. People who smoke still acomplish what ever they set there minds to it may demotivate you if you are the type of person who lets it do that to you.Pot is a drug, so is alcohol. Alcohol is legal. I have seen far worse things happen to people who have alcholic parents then parents who smoke weed. If pot was leaglized then # 1 our GDP would grow b/c we wouldn't be importing it. #2 Socie
