Q: Under 21 and caught with less than 28g
I was in a university of california campus, and i was caught with marijuana less than 28g, while also being under 21, will i be fined the state citation or a federal citation?
A:
it will be state in all likelihood
they should have given you a citation that tells you where to appear
A:
While the "Feds" don't like marijuana possession or use, state law governs.
However, since you are a UC student, you may also face disciplinary action by the university for violation any the Rules of Conduct that you may have agreed to as a condition of acceptance of your enrollment.
You should consult with and perhaps retain an attorney to represent you in connection with this citation.
