Re: How much Marijuana is considered to be illegal to

The answer varies from state to state. In NM 1 oz for personal consumption is a petty misdemeanor, while in TX there is zero tolerance.

Marijuana is not legal anywhere with certain medical exceptions in CA.

Possession of any amount is not proof of consumption. That can proved only by a test for THC.
