Marijuana Cases

Driving with Marijuana in the Vehicle

When a person is found driving with marijuana in their possession, their case will be treated as a driving hazard, whether that person is at the wheel or not.  If you have been arrested and charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession, the charge for having less than one ounce in your possession, your driver’s license will most likely be suspended for six months.  If you have more than an ounce of marijuana in your possession, not only will you face felony drug possession charges, you will likely lose your license for a year.  These are very serious consequences, which is why it's so important that you contact an attorney for help right away.
