However, for individuals under 21, possessing marijuana remains illegal under 410 ILCS 705/10-15, and law enforcement in DuPage County continues to enforce strict penalties against minors caught with cannabis. Whether the possession was discovered at school, during a traffic stop, or after a search, a conviction can lead to lasting consequences that impact a young person’s future.
