I'm 18 and I have a cannabis card. My friends and I were at a park smoking. I let them smoke some of mine. The cops rolled up and I said the marijauna was mine. WE had less than an eigth. My two friends were 18 but my third friend was 16. I was the only one that got in trouble. Contributing to delinquency of a minor. Now I have to go to court. Im going to plead guilty. Has anybody experienced this before? outcomes? thoughts? anything please. This is in california, contra costa county.

My favorite - the teenage trifeceta: some teen males, in a car, in a Public Place. Fish. Barrel. Police.

You are in a real pickle, my friend. While your card allowed you the liberty of possession, it did not prevent your circumstances from being the provider in a group of others. A good attorney is in order to try to plea the contributing charge to something else. About $2k in the Bay Area ought to do it for an intellegent NORML-friendly attorney. But otherwise you are not going to defend your position and you will enjoy being made an example of inapproriate use of Medical MJ. Unfortunately because of the law in California, it is going to be very difficult to defend your position. You were better off without the MJ Card.

Not to interject, but I didn't see any mention of a car being involved.....however, that doesn't change anything Bart has said

suflyaboverf · 02-06-2006, 11:57 PM

Well it is a misdemeanor. How bad can I get in trouble? It's my first charge.

oneluv4boognish · 02-07-2006, 08:20 AM

Probably a fine...just curious how you're 18 and got a cannabis card?

grillmeats · 02-07-2006, 09:14 AM

They may take your card away

**troublemaker_42** · 02-07-2006, 09:35 AM

Why wouldn't a legal adult be able to get a cannabis card if they qualified for one?

Don't give your marijuana to minors, especially in public.

suflyaboverf · 02-07-2006, 02:48 PM

yeah, I know. It was a real stupid mistake. Im hoping I just get off with a fine that is close to a thousand or under. I just remembered though that I did tell the police officer that the minor had brought some of his own and we already smoked it. Would that help lessen my charge or does that not matter? I think the cop may have wrote that down. Will the judge look at that? Can I go find out what he did write down? I know i'm still guilty but it may lessen my charge.

This is not a do-it-yourself situation - what about hiring an attorney?
