Medical Marijuana Defense
When California and federal laws are in conflict, a gray area of law is created in which different counties treat issues differently. Even within a district one judge may rule differently than another judge. California is one of several states that has approved marijuana for medical use. At Gerald C. Carrasco, Attorney at Law, we represent individuals who can be caught in the confusing turmoil created by laws that are in conflict.
Gerald C. Carrasco is a San Luis Obispo marijuana possession defense lawyer with experience protecting the use of medical marijuana. When Proposition 215 passed, medical marijuana laws resulted and with them, certain rights and responsibilities.
A 215 card holder must know:
- How many plants he or she is allowed to have
- If transportation of plants is allowed
- If he or she can be a member of a cooperative
- The rules of the cooperative
- If sale of the marijuana is permitted
If an individual is over his or her allowed allotment of marijuana, a drug trafficking charge could result. At our law firm, we protect the rights of medical marijuana 215 card holders.
Atascadero Marijuana Trafficking Defense Lawyer
If a person is arrested in possession of a large quantity of marijuana, or other drug, a drug trafficking charge will frequently be the result. It does not matter to law enforcement whether or not an individual was caught selling the drug. The mere possession is enough to warrant a drug trafficking charge.
At our law firm, we represent individuals who are charged in California state court with drug possession or drug trafficking of any legal or illegal substance, including:
- Marijuana
- Prescription drugs such as OxyContin, Valium or Adderall
- Cocaine or crack cocaine
- Heroin
