would you go to jail if the cops catch you smoking pot?

Depends on the jurisdiction and the discretion of the arresting officer.\n\nSome agencies issue a summons, others incarcerate you, and some do both.  It also depends on how much pot you have on you.  Many people also neglect to think of the paraphernalia also, but you can be charged with that as well.  Remember also that if you drive while under the influence of drugs, you can be charged with a DWI(drugs) as well.\n\nDear Old Dad

Dude, you need to take responsibility for what you do in life. I am sick of people saying "It's the cops fault" for everything. I assume you are over 18 and are an adult. Act like one. I laugh when I hear "I got pulled over and I wasn't doing anything wrong." People like you like to leave out details that don't shine a good light on you.\n\nIf you are such a good citizen, how did you know the location of the marijuana farm?\n\nLet's see, I imagine that the real scenario went like this:\n\nMe and my buddy were speeding away from our pot grow and smoking a bowl. It made my buddy weave all over the road. This cop pulls in behind us a few miles later and turns on his lights after my buddy plowed through a center median. Being as we had a large shipment of pot to deliver, we had to come up with a quick plan. We couldn't because we were so stoned. So when the cop came to the window, we decided to throw our competition under the bus and tell the cop about his grow.

The laws are same as most other countries. If someone is caught with upto 2 gms of narcotic substance then he(or she) may face smaller sentence (usually 1 year). If someone is caught is more than 2 gms or several packets then he is considered as a dealer or seller and can be punished with harsher jail sentence (more than 3 years). Also, if the police finds evidence of someone funding purchase of narcotics then such people are also treated as sellers of narcotic.\n\nHowever, there are some forms of intoxication (that are as good as narcotics) like - Ganja (I am not sure what it is called in English) - that are in use for many centuries and no one is caught for smoking it.

Am I reading this right? A pot head is waging war on a meth head?! I never thought this sort of reasoning would make it farther than the 'idea' having moment during a toking. You got more tar in your head than you do brains. And yes, Meth addicts DO need jail time. Every one of them made a clear and concious decision to pick up that hot rail, needle or pipe to smoke crystal when they started and the time it took to become 'uncontrolably' addicted, so they accepted the risks. Besides, MOST users sell, they keep cutting some out every time it exchanges hands, so lock 'em up!! And I can't belive someone is trying to defend the 'poor' addicts. What and idiot you are Cripple play!!!

I am a police officer and I don't always arrest for possession of marijuana.  Sometimes, I just make some poor pot head who spent his last 40 bucks on a bag of weed, who should have spent it on milk and diapers for his kid, sprinkle it out on the side of the road.  \n\nBut to answer your question, no. I respect officers who use their head and use their discretion wisely, not just make arrests because they can.

I had a gf that smoked at one time, I gave her the option of me or the weed???  Keeping in mind that it is illegal and if you get pulled over or police come over and find it.  Even though it is his you are going down with him and going to Jail.  Might be hard give him the option but will show alot of character on his part.
