Simple solution to the problem...



Don't hang out with dopers, whether they use, sell, or produce.



The problem will go away all on its own...
Reply:NYC ? are you ready for an island getaway? lets say Rikers island
Reply:Ok , first, you could, so why even hang out there. Second it would depend on what info the cops of DA had for charging your friend or you. Just don't go there, and I would find a better friend.
Reply:Ask at the local Police Department.

Hopefully my generation will realize you can't wage war on a tangable object, and multi billions of dollars wasted each year would be better put to use back in our pockets, or paying off national debt.



Legalize drugs, end drug wars, bad quality product, innocent victims of drive by shootings, and tax the living sh1t out of them to fund rehab centers, build schools, etc.
Reply:YES !!!!
Reply:Yes, you can and there is no telling what you can be charged with as it is you are already an accessory to her crimes and you can do time for that.
Reply:If you can prove you are not involved, you might not do time.
Reply:Yeah, they will arrest you, but if you have a really good story for the DA, the charged might get dropped.
Reply:I live in Louisiana and according to the laws here yes and no. If your friend tells the police they are her plants and you didn't know anything about them they shouldn't take you to jail. Then again every cop is different. My advice to you is to have her come visit you because if you run into a not-so-nice cop they can take you to jail as well even if she owns up to the plants.
Reply:I HAVE KNOWN OF IT HAPPENING. They usually take who ever is in the house.
Reply:Yes - why take the chance? Jail time is on a case by case basis.
Reply:its called visiting a common nuisance. So yes, you will be arrested, and in most cases only charged with a misdemeanor.
Reply:YES! Don't even risk it! Don't get involved! I don't know how long prison time is, but why are you even considering it? Any time there is too long!
Reply:You would be guilty by association. Even though you aren't using, they would automatically assume that you were going to because you are there. Don't hang out with them anymore.
Reply:Yes you can get arrested. Convicted is another story. You will probably beat the charges, but it's going to cost you thhousands in legal fees. You can get arrested for walking down the street minding your own business, however unlikely that is to happen. You increase your chances of that happening if you are sitting in a dope house. My advice: have your friend visit you and tell them to leave their doobage at home.
Reply:Unfortunately, yes. That's another reason to register and vote. A person caught with just one joint can be put in prison for longer than a person convicted of murder. That's one example of how crazy our drug laws are today. Also, if her parents own the building, they can loose the building.
Reply:If the cop is doing an investigation on her and bust her with you in her apt, chances are you would get arrested, but like people say, tell it to the judge.
