Newport Beach Marijuana Crimes Attorney
Marijuana is an illegal drug under federal law and California state law does not currently allow for general recreational use. California law permits only medicinal marijuana use, and even someone with a small amount can be found guilty of an infraction. Depending on the severity of charge and the amount of the drug involved, you could face steeper penalties including harsh fines and potential jail time.
