So, let’s get an update on what constitutes drug possession. Our friends in Nevada say marijuana is now free to purchase and use within your home. What about us here in the Big Bear State? California state laws include two diverse categories for crimes of drug possession. They are simple possession and possession with the intent to sell.
We are taking a step in the direction of marijuana. The California Health and Safety Code now separates offenses related to controlled substances. There are “dangerous drugs” and there is weed. There are specific offenses related to methamphetamine as well. If the prosecutor feels that someone had the intent to sell their stash that’s a whole new ball of wax!
Drug possession and intent to sell are very slippery slopes. You need an experienced, aggressive San Jose drug defense attorney to represent you in any California criminal court. Attorney William Chestnut has devoted the last 40 years of his life to defending people accused of crimes in our state. Please call him today at (408) 298-6990.
