Some states move to legalize medical marijuana and decriminalize simple possession, but Florida does not. Under Florida’s strict marijuana possession laws, an arrest can lead to serious consequences, including jail time and a criminal record.

Penalties for Possession of Weed
If you smoke weed, you probably do not think of yourself as a criminal. However, the state will treat you like one, and you will face serious penalties, even for simple possession. As your Jacksonville marijuana defense possession attorney, I can defend you from the charges and help mitigate the consequences of a conviction, which include:
- Jail time
- Probation
- Heavy monetary fines
- Driver’s license revocation
- Ineligibility for financial aid and scholarships
- Damage to reputation, employment opportunities and college applications
Marijuana traffic stops often result in simple possession charges. Were you pulled over, your car searched and a stash of pot found in your car? As an experienced defense attorney, I have ample knowledge of the illegal methods law enforcement use when conducting traffic stops. I can file a Motion to Suppress evidence with the ultimate goal of having your case dismissed.
Do the possession charges arise from a drug bust at your home or at a place where you were growing weed? Marijuana cultivation charges can accompany possession charges. Whether you had a small space in your closet where you were growing pot or a small plot of land, I leverage my 20-plus years of experience to protect your rights.
