Legal Question in Criminal Law in Colorado
marijuana
If a police officer saw person A give person B an amount of marijuana under an ounce and person B gave person C ''x'' amount of money, what would likely happen? Would any legal course of action be taken? That wouldn't technically be distribution right?

Re: marijuana
This is distribution, any transfer of drugs, whether for money or not, is distribution.
Re: marijuana
well, it does not have to be distribution, but it would probably be charged that way - it seems like those facts get the case to trial and jury - whether the jury convicts is another story - the jury would have to believe it was possible that the money was for something else and the MJ was an unassociated gift - better make sure everyone is on the same page before you risk that one

Wrong; everybody gets arrested, unless the cop looks the other way.
