Re: My Marijuana smoking step son

Your stepson could be putting you in danger of losing your house. The drug war is driven by money. If he should be charged with possession with intent, the District Attorney might try to forfeit your house in order to get money for his department. You must kick your son out if you possibly can. Do not think that merely because you reported it you will be protected. Your report might be used as evidence that you knew drug activity was going on at your premises. If he will not leave voluntarily, you can have him removed by the Sherrif via a forcible entry and detainer action. You are welcome to call me if you have questions. Good luck.
