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.
