• Knowingly possessing marijuana,
• For personal use.

The “personal use” requirement varies from case to case. There are many different factors that go into the finding of personal use:

• The smaller the amount, the more likely it is to be personal use.
• The presence of rolling papers, a pipe, or other paraphernalia.
• Whether packaging and weighing instruments were present.

Each element of this criminal offense must be proven beyond a reasonable doubt by the prosecution. Our firm’s motto, “reasonable doubt for a reasonable price,” reflects our commitment to rigorously challenging each element of the prosecution’s case.

What are the Best Defenses to Marijuana Possession Cases?

Every marijuana possession case is unique, and the best defense strategy depends on the specific circumstances of the case. However, some common defenses include:

• Challenging the legality of the search that led to the discovery of the marijuana could lead to the evidence of the marijuana being suppressed.
• If the marijuana belonged to someone else, evidence of this could prevent your conviction.
• If you were unaware of the presence of the marijuana, this would show that there was no intent to break the law.
