§ 11359 – Possession of Marijuana With Intent To Sell
Possession of marijuana with intent to sell is a felony in California. If you have been arrested for possession of marijuana with intent to sell, call CANNABIS LAW GROUP today at 714-937-2050. Many medical marijuana collective operators and growers are unfortunately being charged with possession with intent to sell.
If you a grower for a collective, or are transporting medicine for the collective, CANNABIS LAW GROUP may be able to get the charges dismissed or reduced. Most of the time, you are going to need a representative from the collective who is willing to testify as to the amounts of marijuana discovered. But even if you are unable to secure these witnesses, we can still help you.
If you are charged with possession with intent to sell marijuana and are not part of a collective, we can still help you fight your case. Call us today for a free consultation. We will evaluate your case and let you know what you are facing and how we believe we can fight your case or negotiate a plea agreement on your behalf and hopefully avoid jail time.
Remember, the District Attorney can still charge you with possession of marijuana with intent to sell even if the police officer fails to witness you attempting to make a sale. The prosecutor can use circumstantial evidence to prove the case. Circumstantial evidence can include: large quantities of marijuana, large quantities of cash, weapons or receipt books found with the marijuana or on your person at the time of the arrest.
If the police conducted an unlawful search and seizure, we may be able to have evidence suppressed, which means that the District Attorney’s case would be severely weakened and the case could possibly even be dismissed.
Possession of one ounce of marijuana or less is now only a misdemeanor in California, which will result in a $100 fine. Possession of more than ounce can result in a charge of possession with intent to sell. In some cases, our marijuana defense attorneys can negotiate your case, so that instead of pleading to possession with intent to sell, you would instead plea guilty to possession only. In these instances, we can often arrange to have you complete a diversion program, which could result in your record being cleared upon completion of the diversion program.
