Possession of marijuana is a crime. If the possession was detected near or on school grounds, additional charges are filed in addition to "possession". If the quantity was an amount sufficient to qualify as "intent to sell" (even if the student never sold drugs or intended to sell), the charges again will probably be increased to intent to sell.

This would depend on where you were and how much "weed" you had in your possession. In most states, possession of less than an ounce (27 grams) of marijuana is a very low-level offense for which you can be issued a citation to appear in court, but not physically arrested. You could be physically arrested if you were in a state that had stiffer penalties for possession of marijuana, had more than the law considered "personal use," were driving while smoking or while under the influence of marijuana, or didn't have identification in your possession. The officer has to have positive identification before he can issue a citation.
