It a complicated question. It sort of depends on the living arrangement.

Could they get in trouble? yes, its a factual question really, the prosecutor would have to prove they had constructive possession. This means they should have known about the stuff upon reasonable inquiry/smell. And that they exercised some right of control over the place where it was stored.

So would a prosecutor charge them. Probably not, its too much trouble. this all revolves around several factors.

1.) Do you have a lock on your door? Do they? Factors that indicate that its all common space rather then a dormitory like arrangement.

wow, thank you for the very detailed response... thats really good to know. So according with what you are saying about the locks i think i will be ok. I have locks on both my door and my closet door. I hope they are in the clear cause i keep using that as an excuse... Thank you for the excellent answer tho.
