    Quote Quoting New York Penal Code, § 221.10 Criminal possession of marihuana in the fifth degree.
    A person is guilty of criminal possession of marihuana in the fifth degree when he knowingly and unlawfully possesses:
    1. marihuana in a public place, as defined in section 240.00 of this chapter, and such marihuana is burning or open to public view; or

    2. one or more preparations, compounds, mixtures or substances containing marihuana and the preparations, compounds, mixtures or substances are of an aggregate weight of more than twenty-five grams.
    Criminal possession of marihuana in the fifth degree is a class B misdemeanor.

    Yes I understand the maximum penalty. The officer was very nice though to the girl he told her she would only get ACOD cause it was her 1st time ever in trouble. Also my real question is she wants to appear herself with out her parents. The cop told her she could and that she was an adult because she was 17. Is this true?
