CANNABIS CHARGES

Marijuana charges can wreak havoc on your life. If you’ve been arrested, contact a cannabis lawyer located in Philadelphia as soon as possible.

Although many states are beginning to decriminalize cannabis or marijuana, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has not yet done so and possession, sale, trafficking, cultivation or possession of cannabis paraphernalia is an illegal and punishable crime. Even small amounts of marijuana for personal use are considered illegal and will be prosecuted.

First time offenders of cannabis laws in Pennsylvania are not necessarily sentenced with jail time, especially if you were caught with just a small amount of the substance and cannot be charged with intent to sell or trafficking. However, any cannabis conviction will leave you with a permanent criminal record.
