Northern California Marijuana Cultivation Defense Lawyer
Since the passage of Proposition 215 (the Compassionate Use Act) in 1996, California marijuana laws have been continuously debated and challenged, resulting in uncertainty about what is legal, what laws can be enforced in various jurisdictions and the best ways to stay clear of criminal charges that can have very serious consequences.
Today, the intersection of federal laws prohibiting cultivation of marijuana with California state laws and ordinances passed by individual California cities and counties (including Chico and Butte County) continues to create a serious quandary for people who want to fully understand their rights and avoid arrest and prosecution.
