Marijuana Charges? Protect Your Rights With A Solid Defense

Drug charges can have a huge impact on your future. While marijuana has been legalized for recreational use in Illinois, there are still some situations where you could face criminal charges related to this drug. Adults over the age of 21 can possess and use up to 30 grams of marijuana plants, five grams of concentrated cannabis, or products that contain up to 500 milligrams of THC. Possession of more than the allowed amount of marijuana could result in drug possession charges. In addition, growing, selling, manufacturing, or transporting marijuana or marijuana products without a valid license could also result in drug manufacturing and delivery charges.

Depending on the type of charge that you are facing, you could be facing:

• Prison time
• Fines
• Property forfeiture
• Mandatory drug treatment programs

These potentially immediate consequences may be overshadowed by the impact that a marijuana conviction may have on your future. In today's world, it is continually getting easier for people to access criminal records. A drug conviction could affect your ability to:

• Lease an apartment
• Secure employment
• Remain eligible for financial aid

This makes it critical that your rights receive a vigorous defense. Securing the representation of an attorney who has experience and who knows our local court system is the best step you can take toward protecting yourself.
