What happens if I am under 21 and caught carrying or using cannabis?

If you are under 21 and caught in possession of cannabis you will be required to complete drug education or counseling and community service (unless you have a current qualifying physician's recommendation or a valid county-issued medical marijuana identification card). You could also face additional penalties (fines and jail time); depending on the location you are in when you are caught, whether it is your second offense or other factors.
