- Sale or distribution of marijuana to a minor
- Hiring or employing a minor to carry, transport, or sell marijuana
- Possession of concentrated cannabis (in some cases this offense may be tried as a misdemeanor)
- Maintaining, renting, leasing, or making available a place to grow, harvest, cultivate, store, or distribute marijuana
