Re: personal use

You are being charged with possession of marijuana for sale and personal use. Atypical because normally they charge one or the other. Generally just sales, if they can.

The strength of the possession for sale charge is based upon the quantity of marijuana and presence of indicia of sales such as cash, scales, packaging materials, cell phones, etc.

The outcome depends on whether your case can be beaten, your prior record, the court you are in and other factors. Difficult to give you a detailed answer without knowing more.

Feel free to contact me if you are looking for a lawyer in Southern California. I specialize in marijuana cases and I am often successful in defending them using medical marijuana defense.

The fact that you would not talk to the cops was the right thing to do.

Very best,
