Q: Im German and I got caught smoking weed and I live in NM. What will happen? Will I get deported? First offense.
My dad is in the German air force stationed in NM and I got caught smoking weed with friends, will they deport me and my family? I got charged with (statute 30-31-25.1 and 30-31-23) any information will help.
A: You will be prosecuted probably for a misdemeanor and will need an attorney for that. You probably will not be deported. Possession of a small amount of marijuana is not a crime of moral turpitude.
