Chico, California, Marijuana Cultivation Defense Lawyer
Throughout Northern California and statewide, federal, county and some local law enforcement authorities frequently conduct marijuana "sweeps" and arrest growers who believe their activities are in compliance with the law.
Unfortunately, having a doctor recommendation for medical cannabis use as described in the Compassionate Use Act and staying within grow limits and other local guidelines is not always sufficient protection against an arrest on felony marijuana charges such as marijuana cultivation, possession, sale or intent to distribute.
Arrested for Cultivation? Need Counsel on Compliance With California Marijuana Growth Laws?
In some cases, cultivation arrests are made by federal law enforcement and prosecuted under federal laws. In others, county sheriffs target growers and file state-level charges based on allegations such as:
- Exceeding legal grow amounts
- Violating other aspects of specific county and city ordinances and marijuana growth laws, some of which forbid outdoor grows altogether or contain very specific restrictions on plant height, location and other matters
- Growing marijuana for illegal distribution or selling pot at a profit (rather than at a price that simply recoups costs), which is not protected by any state or local laws
