Drug possession charges in Los Angeles can be very serious, and lead to more than just a night in jail but can include life-altering consequences that can permanently appear on your record going forward.
Additionally, the quantity of the drug or drugs found can transform from possession charges to possession with intent to sell, and suddenly felony charges are mounting against you. What’s more is that if you have a past criminal record, the charges can become increasingly advanced and lead to much harsher penalties.
Since 2016, recreational use of marijuana became legal in the State of California, but the possession statutes are still enforceable if the amount on hand is greater than what the law’s protections allow.
When these violations occur, the individual charged may be subjected to Federal criminal penalties, as marijuana remains illegal under schedule one of the United States Controlled Substances Act.
