how long would you go to jail for if you were caught with marijuana in your house and a drug test proved that you have done them in the last while?

the answer varies for everyone, it consist of age, past history of crimes. status in the neighborhood? but in general for first timers they usualy get a probationary sentence of 5 years probation and perhaps 3 months county jail time.... so whether or not it shows you used it so long as they find it in your house yur screwed!
if you have more history of crimes in drugs then you gonna get more jail time, the sentence also varies from state to state.

It depends alot on where you are living. For instance in some states, it is illegal to buy or sell marijuana but not illegal to be high. In others, as long as the amount it small enough, there's no trouble. In others it is completely illegal to even think about marijuana, even if you are alone and don't share your thoughts with anyone :P
-What I would be worried about is, what are the cops coming into your house for to begin with? It's not like they wander through people's houses looking for drugs. If they are already there, I imagine that pot is the least of your worries.

The penalty depends on the amount of the drugs and mitigating or aggravating circumstances presented in court. The penalty could be six months imprisonment or less.

it could be up to a year and $1000 fine, depending on the circumstances. I would expect to pay a fine and have to do community service, but you could spend a few weeks/ months in jail since you were found to have used.
