Medical Marijuana
Known as the Compassionate Use Act, the passage of California's Proposition 215 has now legalized medical marijuana. If you have been given a prescription by your physician for medical marijuana, then you have a defense to being charged with the criminal possession of marijuana.
At WILL & WILL, LLP, it does not matter to us why you have been given a prescription for medical marijuana, but merely the fact that a physician has recommended that you use it. A legal prescription by a licensed physician is a defense to being charged with the simple possession of marijuana. It is not a defense, however, to other associated crimes such as having the intent to sell marijuana.
If you have been charged with possession of marijuana and have a medical marijuana prescription from a licensed physician, call the lawyers at WILL & WILL, LLP or fill out our online contact form to discuss how we can help you prove your defense.
