Marijuana Lawyer in Miami

Have you been arrested for marijuana possession?

Known as one of the most common drug crimes, marijuana use is plaguing the nation in various forms. State and federal laws prohibit the illegal possession, transportation, cultivation or trafficking of marijuana, which is classified as a Schedule 1 drug in Florida. Smaller possession of marijuana may result in misdemeanor charges, while possession of greater amounts may result in felony charges. Suspects who are found with a large weight of marijuana or a large number of plants may be suspected of further involvement in the drug industry, and this may lead to increased charges.

Those who are found in possession of 20 grams or less of marijuana may be charged with a misdemeanor punishable by up to $1000 in fines and a year in jail. Being found with more than 20 grams is considered a felony, punishable by up to a 5 year sentencing along with $5000 in fines. Up to 15 years can be served along with $10,000 in fines for those convicted of possessing 25 or more plants. These types of related charges can also include a mandatory suspension of your license for a minimum of two years, even if no car was involved in the incident.
