Marijuana Possession

Being caught with marijuana in California can be more serious than it may sound.

California is known for its generally liberal medical marijuana laws, but the police have been known to arrest people who even have medical authorization.

Possession of marijuana, less than one ounce, is a misdemeanor under California law. This means that although the charge is relatively minor, it can still become a permanent mark on your record if you are convicted.

Possession of Marijuana

This charge can be files as an a infraction or a misdemeanor depending on the amount.

Ms.Brenner has also been able to negotiate with the prosecutor and/or the judge to agree to an informal diversion with more serious marijuana possession charges.

Typically, these deals result in a dismissal of the charges after successfully agreeing to treatment and any other terms. The specific strategies depend on the facts of your case, and the local courts with jurisdiction over your charge.

Possession with Intent to Sell Marijuana

Possession with intent to sell marijuana is a felony, regardless of how much marijuana you actually possessed. The prosecution may try to prove you had "intent" to sell the marijuana because you had items like a scale, baggies, or large amounts of cash. If you are found guilty of this offense you may be facing state prison.

Sale of Marijuana

If you are charged with a possession of most any drug as opposed to a sales charge an experienced attorney should be able to get you into a drug program and if completed your charges can be dismissed. This is more likely on a first offense.

"I have been able to get clients, who have gone to prison, in a drug program on felony cases."
