In California, Health and Safety Code 11357 makes it a crime to possess marijuana for personal use. However, there are unique rules that apply when marijuana is being used to treat a medical condition. Whether you have been accused of drug possession because of a mix up with your medical marijuana card or for any other reason, it is important that you understand that a conviction can come with serious consequences. It is perhaps more important to be aware that an experienced attorney may be able to help you minimize or avoid consequences.
