Your brother's friend is supposed to give you a ride home after basketball practice, but you notice a stash of marijuana under the passenger seat. He says he hasn't used it today, so he's fine to drive. What is the best way to handle this difficult situation? Ask him to put it in the trunk in case a police officer pulls the car over on the ride home Get in, but ask him to not smoke any marijuana while you're in the car Offer to drive his car in case he's under the influence, and leave the drugs hidden Decline his ride and get a ride from someone else

Answer:

Decline his ride and get a ride from someone else

Step-by-step explanation:

Although today, it is legal to use marijuana for recreational purposes, there are still restrictions that have to be adhered to. For example, it is legal to grow and consume your own marijuana, however you are not allowed to sell it.

Consumption should also be limited if you are going to need to rely on your reflexes and judgement (in this question, the ability to drive is reduced after consumption). Even if none has been consumed from that bag, there is a possibility that there are still effects on the user.

If you drive the car, and you are pulled over, you can face criminal charges, because you are the driver of the car.
