Marijuana Charges

Marijuana Attorney – Brett A. Podolsky

Throughout the United States, marijuana is the most commonly used illegal substance. Many people mistakenly believe that marijuana charges are not taken seriously by the District Attorney because of the amount of people who use the drug. However, the District Attorney will aggressively prosecute marijuana charges, especially those charges dealing with manufacturing, distribution and trafficking.

Although some states allow the possession of marijuana for certain purposes, Texas does not recognize an exception for the medical usage of marijuana. Therefore, regardless of the reason for possessing marijuana, Texas considers this possession to be a crime. Texas also does not recognize the legitimacy of having a medical marijuana prescription from any other state. This means that Texas will prosecute the possessor of marijuana for a crime even if the person has a valid prescription.

While several states now allow for the recreational use of marijuana, Texas is not one of them. Possessing or distributing marijuana is against the law and can result in serious penalties. Contact criminal defense attorney Brett Podolsky today and get the legal representation you need.
