Protect Your Right To Legal Use Of Your Medical Marijuana

Marijuana has proven medicinal benefits for treating a wide variety of diseases and conditions. California’s Compassionate Use Act of 1996 recognized this fact and provided for qualified physicians to write prescriptions for marijuana just like any other drug.

But remember:

Having a prescription for medicinal marijuana only allows patients to use, possess, cultivate and transport marijuana in a way that is consistent with their own personal medical needs. It is not a “free pass” for all crimes related to marijuana.

What Charges Can Medical Marijuana Users Face?

Even with a valid prescription for medical marijuana—and a medical marijuana ID card—you may still need to hire a medical marijuana attorney in Los Angeles CA to defend against charges for:

Smoking marijuana in any place where it is prohibited by law, such as within 1,000 feet of a school

  • Driving a car or operating a boat while using marijuana
  • Possessing more than 8 ounces of dried marijuana
  • Growing more than 6 mature or 12 immature marijuana plants
  • Selling or distributing marijuana to individuals who do not have a prescription
  • Possession of medical marijuana with the intent to sell it illegally
  • Use or possession of medical marijuana on federal lands
