How Are Marijuana Crimes Charged in Los Angeles?

Marijuana crimes can get confusing in LA because there are many different rules.

There are many ways the State or Federal government can charge you with a marijuana crime. Sometimes when the State charges you, marijuana crimes are misdemeanors or infractions. However, if you have a criminal record or children under the age of 18 are involved in the crime, the State is likely to charge you with a felony. If the Feds charge you, it is going to be a felony charge as well. 

Here are the most common marijuana charges in LA:

With so many different laws on the books, it is not difficult to see why many people get caught up in the legal system. The Rodriguez Law Group will stand up for your rights and fight for your freedom and reputation. Contact our team today. 

What Penalties Am I Facing for a Marijuana Crime in Los Angeles?

The penalties for marijuana crimes in LA vary widely. Many different factors impact the sentence that you will face. Your age, the amount of marijuana or synthetic cannabinoid, and your criminal record all call for different penalties under California law. The three types of charges are infractions, misdemeanors, and felonies.

If you are charged with an infraction, the likely penalties are community service and a fine. If you are charged with a misdemeanor, many marijuana crimes carry a maximum of six months in jail. 

California felony charges for marijuana can carry years of prison exposure. For instance, using a child under the age of 14 in a marijuana crime can be punished by a three, five, or seven-year prison sentence. Federal marijuana crimes can also carry maximum penalties involving years in prison.

Any time someone is charged with a crime, it is an extremely serious matter. The Rodriguez Law Group understands the stress that you are feeling about your situation. Our team is skilled at fighting charges at trial. We are also skilled at obtaining probation if it is a possibility. We want to work with you to achieve your goals for your case. 

What Defenses Can Be Raised to a Marijuana Crime?

Every case is unique, so an experienced criminal defense lawyer at The Rodriguez Law Group will need to analyze your case for the appropriate defense.

Some defenses to marijuana charges include:

  • You were legally allowed to possess the marijuana
  • The marijuana belonged to someone else
  • Entrapment
  • The police violated your rights
  • The State cannot prove every element of the crime

The prosecutors are required to prove every element of a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Attorney Ambrosio Rodriguez and his team know how to show weaknesses in the State’s case and poke holes in their flawed evidence.
