How Are Marijuana Crimes Charged in Los Angeles?

Marijuana crimes can get confusing in LA because there are many different rules.

However, if you have a criminal record or children under the age of 18 are involved in the crime, the State is likely to charge you with a felony. If the Feds charge you, it is going to be a felony charge as well.

What Penalties Am I Facing for a Marijuana Crime in Los Angeles?

The penalties for marijuana crimes in LA vary widely. Many different factors impact the sentence that you will face. Your age, the amount of marijuana or synthetic cannabinoid, and your criminal record all call for different penalties under California law. The three types of charges are infractions, misdemeanors, and felonies.

If you are charged with an infraction, the likely penalties are community service and a fine. If you are charged with a misdemeanor, many marijuana crimes carry a maximum of six months in jail. 

California felony charges for marijuana can carry years of prison exposure. For instance, using a child under the age of 14 in a marijuana crime can be punished by a three, five, or seven-year prison sentence. Federal marijuana crimes can also carry maximum penalties involving years in prison.

Any time someone is charged with a crime, it is an extremely serious matter.
