Bristol County Marijuana Offenses Lawyers

Outstanding Professionalism for Clients throughout Massachusetts & Rhode Island

Marijuana is one of the most common substances involved in Massachusetts drug cases. While up to one ounce in your possession for your own personal use is legal in the state, quantities above this can lead to criminal charges. Medical marijuana is also legal in the state as long as you follow the rules and regulations set throughout Massachusetts law.

Should you fail to do so, such as through fraudulent prescriptions, you may face criminal charges as well. Drug offenses involving marijuana can range from simple misdemeanors to more severe felonies, depending on the amount of marijuana found in your possession and the activities involved, such as cultivating it in large grow-farms or possessing it with the intent to distribute or sell.

Your future can be damaged when convicted on marijuana charges not only because of the severe criminal penalties of incarceration, fines, and probation but because of the permanent criminal record you will have. Such a record can be easily accessed by anyone in your future, such as potential employers or landlords.
