Marijuana Lawyer Services

Michigan legalized recreational marijuana in 2018, but cannabis charges still occur frequently. The Browning Law Firm provides comprehensive marijuana defense throughout Michigan. Legal marijuana limits: adults 21+ can possess up to 2.5 ounces on person, store up to 10 ounces at home, grow up to 12 plants per household. Exceeding these limits remains criminal. Marijuana remains illegal for those under 21. Sales without proper licensing are illegal. Public consumption is prohibited. Driving under marijuana influence is illegal. Common marijuana charges despite legalization: possession over legal limits (felony based on amount), marijuana distribution without license (serious felony), growing more than 12 plants (felony), DUI with marijuana (OWI with presence of marijuana), possession in prohibited places (schools, etc.), and sales to minors (very serious felony). Our marijuana defense strategies: challenging illegal searches (Fourth Amendment protections still apply), questioning amount calculations (how police measured quantity), medical marijuana defenses (valid cardholders have different rules), lack of knowledge defenses (didn't know amount or that cannabis was present), and procedural violations. OWI with marijuana presents unique defenses. Unlike alcohol, marijuana stays in system long after intoxication ends. We challenge whether you were actually impaired or just had THC in system from prior use. Medical marijuana cardholders face different possession limits and rules. We assert medical marijuana defenses when applicable. Penalties for marijuana violations can be severe despite legalization. Large amount possession or distribution carries years in prison. Even smaller violations create criminal records. The Browning Law Firm provides experienced marijuana defense protecting your freedom despite Michigan's changing cannabis laws.
