Medical Marijuana Cases

Corona Criminal Defense Attorney

While marijuana use is against federal law, that is not the case in California.  Our state has legalized the use of marijuana for medical purposes and allows patients who qualify to use it as authorized by a physician.  For those who are in chronic pain or who have arthritis, migraines, glaucoma and certain life-threatening illnesses such as cancer or AIDS, marijuana has been found to relieve symptoms and provide relief from pain.

While it may be legal here in California, there are still many instances where a person can be arrested for possessing or cultivating marijuana, even when used for medical purposes.  If you have been arrested or charged for this, contact a Corona criminal defense lawyer from Cho, Sheasby, Chung & Ignacio, LLP for help with your defense.  Some situations that can lead to an arrest are failing to have a valid ID card or possessing more than the legal limit allowed by Senate Bill 420.
