1. Possession Over the Legal Limit –
Individuals carrying more than the legally allowed amount of cannabis can face misdemeanor or felony charges.

Possessing marijuana with packaging materials or large quantities may result in accusations of intent to sell.

Operating a vehicle while impaired by cannabis remains illegal and can lead to serious penalties, especially if minors are present.

Growing marijuana plants without proper state authorization can result in criminal charges, even for personal use.

Even in legal-use states, marijuana possession on federal land (e.g., national parks or military bases) is prohibited.
6. Sale to Minors or Use by Minors –
Selling or providing cannabis to individuals under 21, or being underage in possession, can result in enhanced penalties.

Items like pipes, grinders, or scales may lead to charges, especially when found alongside marijuana.
Determining liability in marijuana-related cases involves analyzing the facts, evidence, and intent behind the alleged offense. At Almagno Law, we examine every detail—who had control over the substance, whether the search and seizure were lawful, and if any constitutional rights were violated. Whether it’s a case of mistaken identity, unlawful police procedures, or improper evidence handling, our goal is to challenge weak prosecution claims and protect your legal rights. Every case is unique, and establishing or disputing liability can be the key to a successful defense.
