Opinion

Grignon, J.

A delinquent ward of the juvenile court committed a new offense, possession of marijuana on school grounds, for which the only authorized disposition is a fine. A Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 petition was filed for the new offense and found to be true. The juvenile court aggregated the minor’s previous offense, possession of a concealable weapon, with the new offense under section 726 and committed the minor to camp with a maximum commitment of three years. We conclude the juvenile court properly aggregated the confinement time on the previous offense with the new offense. We conclude further the evidence is sufficient to sustain the finding of possession. We affirm.
