California Cultivation of Marijuana Defense Attorney
In 1996, California voters approved Proposition 215, authorizing the legal use of marijuana for medical reasons relating to relief of chronic pain, treatment of AIDS, mood disorders and a range of other medical purposes. Although legal throughout the state, the legislature has left it up to the local government and law enforcement entities to interpret and prosecute the law. As might be expected, conservative communities such as San Diego often choose to make an arrest first and ask questions later regarding possession for medical use.
Grow Operations and Cultivation of Marijuana for Medical Purposes
There are no hard and fast rules to distinguish between cultivating marijuana for an individual's own medical purposes or setting up a growing operation for illegal distribution. The amount an individual is allowed to grow for personal medical use varies greatly between counties. When police investigate even a small marijuana grow operation, they are typically suspect of the purposes and are quick to make an arrest for felony possession and illegal cultivation.
