California Marijuana Dispensary Defense Attorney
Protecting Californian's Right to Medical MarijuanaAs marijuana winds its way through legality, individuals continue to find themselves prosecuted for something they thought was legal. Growing and dispensing a certain amount of marijuana in California is legal. However, prosecutors have little guidance about what constitutes a reasonable amount of marijuana and how to determine if someone is growing and dispensing it under doctor's orders. Attorney Fred Remer has been an active member of NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, for more than 30 years. He was a prominent advocate in the fight to allow state-sanctioned marijuana dispensaries to grow marijuana for medical use. Today, he enforces the rights of those marijuana dispensaries when they face allegations of illegal possession, cultivation or distribution of marijuana. Passionate About Protecting Your Rights If you were arrested, or you are under investigation for illegal use of marijuana, contact our law firm. We are an experienced drug crimes defense firm, passionate about protecting vulnerable people from unjust marijuana prosecutions. Medical Marijuana: Federal and State PoliciesCalifornia's Compassionate Use Act permits seriously ill Californians to use marijuana for medical purposes. The Act allows doctors to authorize their patients to grow a certain amount of marijuana individually or in collectives. Thankfully, the federal government has recently changed its position on marijuana dispensaries. Under former President George Bush, federal prosecutors enforced federal regulations against the distribution of marijuana even when states had laws that allowed for cultivation of medical marijuana. They would select certain medical dispensaries to bust and others to leave alone. Now, the federal government will no longer raid, seize property or arrest people operating a marijuana dispensary that complies with California law. Why Do You Face Charges?Even with the Compassionate Use of Marijuana Act and newfound federal leniency, marijuana growers are still facing federal and state prosecution. Conservative counties are coming down on marijuana cultivators that they claim do not meet the reasonable limits. If police officers consider the amount of marijuana you grow to be excessive or say that you are not a legal patient, they can arrest you.
