More and more people are arrested, charged and convicted of possession of marijuana and the paraphernalia associated with the drug. Recently, a Tampa teacher was arrested for growing marijuana plants with the intent to distribute. These are serious charges that will affect her career, her livelihood, as well as hamper her job search efforts in the future.
If you're arrested on a marijuan possession charge, you need an aggressive criminal defense attorney who has trial experience. A conviction of possession of 20 grams or less of marijuana can carry a penalty of one year in jail with a $1,000 fine. A conviction of more than 20 grams of marijuana is a felony that carries with it a 5 year jail sentence and a $5,000 fine. These are serious charges with deleterious consequences.
