Protecting Your Right to Medical Marijuana!

There are more drug-related arrests than there are arrests for serious, violent crimes such as murder, armed robbery and rape. Since marijuana was deemed illegal by our federal government in 1937, the number of arrests continues to rise especially in the wake of the war on drugs.

Also, nearly half of the people arrested for drugs are arrested for marijuana!  So even though you may think that marijuana use is not as serious a drug offense as cocaine or heroin, our justice system is arresting someone found with this drug about every 40 seconds in the United States. That’s just one of the many reasons why you need an experienced defense attorney that specializes in the defense of your marijuana drug charge.

In an effort to provide for the use of Marijuana for medical purposes the State of California has established California Medical Marijuana laws.  However, many individuals find themselves subject to criminal justice system even though they have the right to use marijuana under the California Medical Marijuana laws.  If you find yourself charged for possession, sale or transportation of marijuana and you feel that you have been wrongly accused of this crime – you need a criminal defense attorney that focuses on these type of crimes and can help you during this difficult time.
