Las Vegas Federal Marijuana Attorney
Arrested for Federal Marijuana Possession, Sale, or Trafficking? Contact Goodman Law Group Today!
Some states have legalized marijuana for various purposes, but in nearly all circumstances, federal law still outlaws marijuana. The drug’s illegal state at the federal level complicates things for consumers and sellers alike. States that have legalized recreational or medicinal marijuana—such as California or Colorado—still face challenges with production and distribution.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has not recognized marijuana as medicine, regardless of state laws. Consequently, marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance. For consumers, even the legal use of marijuana for medicine poses risks. Many employers, for example, have a zero-tolerance policy for marijuana use and can fire qualified employees simply because an employer has marijuana in their system—use, possession, or sale of marijuana can also result in various drug crime charges.
These drug crime charges become even more complicated when marijuana crosses state lines—in fact, it grants federal jurisdiction to drug crimes involving marijuana or marijuana products. Many marijuana retailers—even Californians—transport and distribute marijuana across the country. If you’re in California, for example, it can be easy to forget that transporting marijuana even to or from Nevada can lead to federal drug charges, including those for trafficking. Transporting it elsewhere in the country yields even more serious charges in federal court.
Has a federal court charged you with marijuana possession, possession with intent to distribute, or marijuana trafficking? Contact one of our tenacious attorneys online at (702) 825-7854 today for help with your drug crime charge.
