No, buying marijuana and possessing marijuana are not treated the same under the law. Buying marijuana can be considered a different offense, such as drug trafficking or drug dealing, which can carry stiffer penalties compared to just possessing it for personal use. Possession may result in lesser penalties in some cases.
Pending if your caught with possesion or intent to sell, if you just get caught with a little weed its a misdemeanor. If the 5-0 finds a lot of weed and perhaps a few baggies they might try to give you intent to sell which is a felony
Well, last night, we were pulled over and i received an MIP for being drunk and then a Possesion of a controlled substance for weed and a pipe.
in Virginia, a first offense for possession of marijuana is an unclassified misdemeanor with a maximum 30 day jail sentence. A subsequent conviction for marijuana then becomes a class 1 misdemeanor and a class 1 misdeameanor carries up to 10 years in prison; fines of up to $2,500 they hurt you.
Presumably in their country it is against the law to be in possession of weed and the penalty for possession is a jail term.
when your smoking it and they see your without it they can get you for being under the influence (only if your in public. if your at home then their prolly gonna search!) or if your drivin youll get a DUI. possession is just possession.
you can have multiple possession charges
Possession of weed for the first time depending on where you live usually results in conditional discharge. That means fines, a possibility of probation but no criminal record.
smoking weed does not affect your period, smoking grass might however
you still get arrested, because technically, its in your possession.

Punishment for over 2 oz of weed in Indiana includes 1 year in jail and $5,000 in fines (Class A misdemeanor charge).
