Phoenix Marijuana Lawyer
Have you been charged with marijuana possession or possession for sale?
Marijuana is a very common street and recreational drug that is grown from the marijuana plant, and is used to heighten perception and to relax. It is estimated that approximately 30% of United States adults use marijuana, but using marijuana is considered to be a crime unless you qualify as a medical patient under state laws. In Arizona, the possession of marijuana is considered to be a class 6 felony offense that is punishable by 6 months to 1 ½ years imprisonment. If you have no prior convictions, you may be eligible for a Treatment Assessment Screening Center (TASC) diversion program.
If you have been charged with possession of marijuana for sale, you will face even more serious penalties. If convicted, you will be found guilty of a class 2 felony offense and may spend 3 to 12 ½ years in the Arizona Department of Corrections, even for a first offense. It is absolutely necessary that you contact a Phoenix drug crimes attorney if you are facing drug charges involving marijuana. The longer you wait, the less time you have to build a strong defense against your charges. An attorney from Suzuki Law Offices, LLC can work hard to counteract the prosecutor's case against you and to fight for your rights.
