You have graduated from college and, after working hard for ten years, have scraped enough money together to make a down payment on a forty-acre farm within driving distance to the small city where you work in Colorado. In town at lunch one day, you run into an old friend from high school, Hayley Mills, who tells you that she is saving her money to start a high-end consignment shop in town. You allow her to have a room in your house for a few months until she has enough money to go into business. Over the following weeks, however, you realize that old acquaintances from high school are stopping by almost daily for short visits. When you bring this up to Hayley, she admits that many old friends are now relying on her for marijuana. She is not a licensed caregiver in Colorado and is clearly violating the law. Out of loyalty, you tell her that she has three weeks to move out, but you do not prevent her from continuing sales while she is there. What crime have you committed?

A conspiracy crime

Explanation:

Note that the tem consipiracy could also mean knowingly supporting directly or indirectly in a set course of action with another.

Thus, since the homeowner did not prevent the illegal actions of her acquaintance out of loyalty for her, the homeowner became part of an illegal drug sale conspiracy. This is further evident from the fact that the homeowner

gave the acquaintance three weeks to move out; in a sense giving more ample time for the illegal transactions.
