In over 14 years of experience as an attorney, I have seen an increase in cases involving possession and possession for sale of marijuana. I believe that people are being charged with such cases because they are under the mistaken impression that they are allowed to possess large quantities of marijuana if they work or run a dispensary or have a valid prescription for marijuana. People need to know that just because you have a valid license to distribute marijuana at a dispensary or to possess marijuana pursuant to a valid prescription, the police will still arrest a person especially if they possess a large quantity of marijuana. The police will assume that your possession is unlawful and let you deal with your defenses during the criminal prosecution. Unfortunately, the laws of possession of marijuana in California as they relate to the new medical marijuana laws are always being newly interpreted by courts, prosecutors and law enforcement. Thus, it is extremely important that you contact an experienced criminal defense attorney if arrested for possession or possession for sale of marijuana so that you know your rights and how the new medical marijuana laws apply to you.
If you or someone you know gets arrested for possession for sale of marijuana, possession of marijuana or any other crime, tell them to call GLOTZER and ASSOCIATES (Toll Free: 866-229-0101 or (310) 623-3771) or visit our website @ http://www.socalcriminallawyer.com/
