In the United States of America, the official answer is "none'. On a Federal level the possession of marijuana is illegal. However, in recent years many states have changed their states laws to allow medical marijuana or have decriminalized minimum quantities of marijuana. Those states are violating Federal law and frequently the DEA (which represents our countries laws and not any individual state law) is there to enforce the Federal law.

Can you be detained without being arrested, and if so, under what circumstances would this occur?

Yes, you can be detained without being arrested. This can happen when law enforcement officers have reasonable suspicion that you may be involved in criminal activity and need to briefly hold you for questioning or investigation. Detention is usually temporary and does not necessarily lead to formal charges or arrest.


Is it legal for police to take a minor to the police station without being arrested?

Yes it is legal for an officer to take a minor to a police station without being arrested. This is called detainment. They are allowed to hold you for a period of unknown time, as every city and state is different. Usually 24 to 48 hours. However, if the minor is not being arrested and is being detained the officer must have probable cause to detain, such as possible runnaway or domestic violence, shoplifting etc. Usually the officer will call a parent or guardian to have them picked up from the police station if the minor cooperates and gives the contact information to the officer. But yes detainment is common.

If you were GIVEN a drug without your knowledge you'd better have a pretty good story as to how it got into your system. Realistically speaking, I can't hold out much hope for you. Law enforcement and the legal system have heard most of the stories before.
