Explain to me how you can smoke weed and not possess it. If you touch it to use it, you possess it. If it enters into your system, you have illegally used a narcotic. Ownership happens when you touch it. Even if it is only your lips on a bong. The moment you inhale, you have taken possession. That is the way the law would look at it. ...at this time.

If you buy weed then smoke all of it and then are stopped by the police you are NOT in possession of an illegal substance.

If you are stopped by the police after smoking, you have probably done something really stupid. Once charged, they can test you for narcotics. If the test comes back for substance use, you could be charged. Federal law lists marijuana as a narcotic. As I stated for now.

It is possible. However, it is most likely not probable that anything would happen to you if you smoke in your own home. My question had to do with how you can smoke it and not possess it. It was an existential esoteric statement.

It doesn't matter what you test positive for.

You still aren't charged for possession of illegal substances unless you physically possess them...and that doesn't mean in your fucking bloodstream.

You can be charged with DUI or something similar if you are operating a car or machinery or whatever. There are probably a slew of other charges for being drugged up and in certain situations....but you don't get a possession charge without having drugs on you.

If you grab a bag of weed and then put it all into your bloodstream (smoking, eating, etc) and then somehow the cops come to your house, they can't charge you with possession since you dont actually have the physical item that the law forbids possessing.

Being under the influence of Marijuana on your own property doesn't seem to violate any law/statute that I'm aware of as long as you aren't operating any type of vehicle (car, lawn mower, scooter, skateboard, etc).

The closest thing that I can fathom you possibly being charged with is Public Intoxication or Disturbing the Peace, but even then, it would require an extraordinary type of circumstance. Pretty sure you will have no issues being high in a recliner inside your house. Dlbeing drunk in your house isnt illegal right?

wut? This is absurd logic. Weed isn't a narcotic to begin with. Secondly, 'possession' indicates having the physical drug on your person, which means you could possibly intend to sell it. You don't automatically get charged with possession of open alcohol in your car if you get a dui.
