1.6.1.3 A person under eighteen years of age shall only be penalized for the non-medical possession, cultivation, manufacture, import, transport, export, or use of cannabis or related paraphernalia, or the facilitation or other encouragement of the same by another person under the age of eighteen, if apprehended in flagrante delicto.
