Possible Marijuana Charges
Just because the state voted to legalize recreational marijuana in 2016 does not mean that California is now a free-for-all when it comes to its use, possession, and sale. It is important to have a Walnut Creek marijuana crime lawyer on your side who knows the laws because they are not only confusing but always changing.
Some possible charges that you could be facing for marijuana include:
- Possessing more than 1 ounce of marijuana, or 8 grams of concentrates
- Purchasing marijuana from an unauthorized seller
- Selling marijuana without a license
- Distributing marijuana to people under the age of 21
- Using marijuana in a public place
- Driving under the influence of marijuana
Just like alcohol, marijuana laws are strict in order to protect public safety and ensure that marijuana is purchased and consumed legally and safely. You may be able to lessen your charges if this is your first offense or if you have been wrongly accused. Due to the decriminalization of marijuana in recent years, you may also be eligible to pay a fine rather than spend time in jail.
