    Default Police Seized My Marijuana but Didn't Issue a Citation

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Massachusetts.

    So I got pulled over for speeding, and the cop sees my one-hitter and demands that I hand it over along with the weed. I cooperate and after that, he calms down and tells me to slow down and that I'm losing the weed. I asked him if I was getting a ticket and he said "no, just a stern warning." Then he told me to go home.

    I know weed is decriminalized is Massachusetts, but I was just wondering if there was any chance of getting a citation (for possession or DUI) after the fact if he didn't do anything on the spot, or if he let me go and I got lucky.

    Thanks for your time.

    Why don't you call the police station and demand a citation.

    Sure, it's possible, but not likely.

    I'm generally in favor of legalizing marijuana because I mostly believe it's harmless. However, in your case, maybe it's not, because it sure made you stupid enough to break traffic laws while carrying your shit in the car.
