Question

Can the police come in my house and take a joint from me an charge me on a later date

Answer

Yes, the charge can be sworn up to the limit of time fixed by the statute "Limitation of Actions" commonly known as the "Statute of Limitations."

For a misdemeanor simple possession of marihuana, that's one year from the date of the offense.
