Weed Soaked in Alcohol?

Let's say someone soaks 1/4oz. of weed in vodka, and is charged with possession of this mixture. What is the weight for which they are responsible?
1. Does the total weight include the vodka? 2. Does the total weight include the bottle as a "container" of the substance? 3. Could this be a manufacturing charge?
Obviously, depending on how the substance is weighed, the charge would change substantially--from a level 1 infraction that one could probably plea down to a non-criminal charge, to a long prison sentence.
tyvm!

I would assume the volume or weight of the tincture.
If you'd like to go stealth you could just grind it up and put it in veggie caps, and carry the veggie caps in some kind of legal herbal container. They will smell to a dog of course, but they will pass human inspection.

I am not sure.

Probably not. But likely distribution because of the weight.

Yes.

Watch out, if they get a nasty lawyer on the case they could try to push a preparation/purification.. Doubtful they would go for a stretch like that but you can never be too careful.

This looks like a really really stupid thing to do.

State penalties also likely to be higher than just for the marijuana not only due to weight but also due to the fact that the solution would be considered a marijuana extract which usually caries higher penalties than marijuana alone.

Yep. Any extraction/modification is automatic felony here.
