While a medical marijuana card is typically an authorization for those who use marijuana for medical reasons to do so legally, it is not an excuse for possessing, selling or using marijuana for purposes other than medical. At the Law Office of Stephen R. Brodsky, our Riverside criminal defense attorneys want clients to know that a California medical marijuana card should never be considered a way to get by with other marijuana crimes, or considered a way to get out of jail. If you believe this card will protect you from being arrested, think again.

Under Proposition 215, patients with certain conditions may be issued a medical marijuana card; this allows patients to legally possess and cultivate marijuana. Some of the conditions that the use of marijuana is medically approved for include cancer, anorexia, arthritis, AIDS, glaucoma, seizures, migraines and nausea. However, possessing a card will not prevent you from being arrested. As experienced Riverside criminal defense lawyers, we know that patients may be arrested by police regardless; at that point, you will need to hire a Riverside drug crimes lawyer to represent you.

The point is, never feel secure that a medical marijuana card will prevent you from getting into legal hot water, because it will not. You may be arrested if police find you in possession of marijuana, cultivating it or under the influence. At this point, the card gives you the right when you go to trial to explain why you had the drug in your possession, and that it is used for medicinal purposes. Even though you have a card, you will need a Riverside criminal defense attorney to protect your rights and freedom, just as if you had been arrested and had no medical marijuana card.

A medical marijuana card is not a license to sell or traffic drugs. You may be completely innocent, and were arrested although you have done nothing illegal, or you may have thought that the card would be a good "cover" for selling or distributing marijuana. Either way, you will need aggressive, effective legal representation.
