Is it illegal for a minor not to have a room due to marijuana?

Question

I currently live with my guardian (grandmother) and her husband.

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Well, if they both use it for medical purposes (NAD HAVE A PRESCRIPTION) then you should be fine. As long as you don't handle any of it. Or try any of it.
If you truly want to know for sure, look up your state laws on medical marijuana. It would be listed there. Or ask a police officer, judge, state prosecutor...etc.
Hope this helps sorry you have to deal with this!

This is one of those situations where you have to choose your morals over legalities. No, it is not illegal to not have a bedroom. I sleep on a couch, actually. As long as you are getting your essentials, there is no law about where to sleep a child. On the other hand, weed, especially growing it in your home, is illegal. However, what are you going to do? Turn in your own parents? Then, you really won't have a bedroom to sleep in. They will be arrested, and you will be placed in group housing with other children your age and gender. You won't have much if a social life, or a "childhood" depending on how old you are. Sorry that you aren't granted the privacy you should have! Also, sorry you have to go through, what I see as, unfit living conditions. It's just one of those situations where you won't really get anywhere and should just wait until you are of age to go to college or move on your own. Good luck!

I would guess that wrestling with issues like this in states that have legalized marijuana is a real problem for the CPS people. In the past, having people using marijuana regularly in the house would be grounds for removing you. But it's legal now. And there's no legal requirement that any child have his/her own room. However, there may be overall neglect going on here. You can file a report with CPS anonymously, and they'll check it out.

Answer 8

No.

Answer 9

This is illegal for sure

Answer 10

Not having your own bedroom is not illegal.
Having two rooms full of marijuana plants is illegal.

You could phone the police - you'll then be placed into a children's home or foster care, there is no guarantee you will have your own room - you might have to share with other children of the same gender as you.
