Just because some surrounding western states have legalized
the recreational use of marijuana does not mean anything has changed in the
state of California. Many forms of
possession, use, and sale of marijuana could get you arrested and land you in
jail. Here is a brief overview of the
current California law on the subject.
Unless you are a qualified marijuana patient, possession of
28.5 grams or less for personal use is considered an infraction with a maximum
penalty of a $100 fine. If there is an
intent to distribute ANY amount of the drug, that is a felony subject to
between 16 months and 3 years of incarceration!
Even if you cultivate any amount of marijuana the penalty once again
could be up to 3 years in prison.
If you or someone you care about has been arrested for any
marijuana infraction you must not hesitate.
Maybe someday soon the laws of the Big Bear state will change, but for
now you must call Attorney William Chestnut a top criminal attorney for more
than 3 decades at (408) 298-6990. Tomorrow’s
accepted lifestyle may be today’s prison sentence!
