Re: Criminal Law

That depends on what kind of "problems" you mean. If visitors use marijuana on the premises without her knowledge then she isn't criminally liable. If they *grow* it on the property, though, she probably is -- especially if she consents to this activity. There are many types of "problems" between these extremes, so I can't give you a better answer without more information.
