Marijuana Lawyer

 Possession of Marijuana under 50 grams in NJ NJSA 2C:35-10(4)

We have heard it said since we were little that drugs are bad and you should stay away from them.  However, as we get older, temptations are harder to avoid. Do you need a marijuana lawyer because you were arrested in New Jersey with 50 grams or less of marijuana?  Is this your first offense with CDS?  Maybe you just had a blunt or traces of pot in your cup holder. Or have you been arrested for pot possession and you have other drug charges on your record?  No matter what your situation is, we can defend you.

Guilty of Possession if:

Unlawful to knowingly or purposely obtain or possess a controlled dangerous substance (CDS) unless obtained with a valid prescription.
