Marijuana Possession

Under California law, the possession and usage of marijuana are legal with medical recommendations only. However, the law still views the possession, manufacture, sale and transportation of marijuana as an illegal practice if you do not have an appropriate medical license. If you possess marijuana in a small quantity for personal usage, the punishment may be minor and is usually just a small fine. However, the cultivation, sale and transportation of marijuana are considered felonies and may lead to weighty consequences, including jail time.

Paraphernalia Charges

Under California law, drug paraphernalia is defined as the possession of any device, instrument, or contrivance that is employed to inject or smoke a controlled material. It is illegal to possess these instruments unless you are an authorized medical marijuana user and the devices are used solely for medicinal cannabis.

Prescription Drug Crimes

Many prescription drugs are controlled substances and are considered similar to illegal drugs such as cocaine or heroin. Under California law, a possessing, manufacturing, selling or distributing a prescription drug that is not legally prescribed to you is a punishable offense.

Drug Trafficking

Under California law, drug trafficking is considered a felony and is punishable by law. Drug trafficking charges include the import, sale, manufacture, transport and distribution of controlled substances. The punishment for drug trafficking may be incarceration in a state prison for up to 5 years.
