Re: Posession of cannibus
The most valuable words taught in law school are: "It depends". In this situation, it depends upon your relationship to the person, whether there was any personal property in the residence that connects you to the place, whether you stayed there on a regular basis, etc. The likelihood of a successful prosecution on the limited facts supplied is not high, but there may have been enough evidence to connect an individual to the cannibis to begin a prosecution.
