Your current state is Virginia
Pulled over for license plate light and came back clean when running license. Pulls me out of car, and I had .5g or less and he said that gave him probable cause to search. It's not illegal to be in possession of marijuana in Illinois so why would that give him probable cause? I believe my... Read more »
It’s illegal to possess marijuana in a vehicle unless it is basically in store packaging. So the search was probably legal. You should have an attorney evaluate the evidence for potential motions or to negotiate on your behalf.
Wouldn't it be considered taking away a civil liberty by denying what the law allows?
The law routinely takes away things as punishment. DUI-can’t drink during your sentence. Too many tickets - suspended license.
So yes, a sentence may require that you not consume thc. You should consider a prescription for cannabis if you need it medically.
Record was expunged and sealed. I'm trying to get arrest and/or court records now but the arresting agency and county clerk of the court have no records. The arrest still shows up on my national background check but without any related charges or court decisions. How can I get that info?
That was a long time ago. I’m guessing you might have trouble locating your attorney but that’s always the first place to start. There are different types of expungements under Oklahoma statutory law. Sounds like maybe you only took the expungement granted by the Court (Judge) but might not... Read more »
I am 18 and have my medical marijuana card. I live in the state Washington. My parents claim that if I were to get into an accident since I would have THC in my system the opposing party could sue my family. Keep in mind I never drive under the influence. I am under there car insurance as well. Is... Read more »
A Washington attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. Until you are able to consult with a local attorney for the most accurate state rules, in many jurisdictions, the claimant will usually go after the vehicle operator and the owner. Those two parties are generally... Read more »
I know a family that I’ve been told is doing this.
I don’t have personal knowledge, but I’m concerned.
With the passing of medicinal marijuana this question becomes very interesting. A medical user can use anywhere that smoking is permitted. (In other words can’t smoke indoors where smoking of cigarettes would be prohibited)
Additionally, there are minors who also have medicinal marijuana... Read more »
My 3 month old puppy ate some of my roommates weed and had to have an emergency visit. She is now asking for the vet records because she claims “I am creating false accusations”. She is not planning on doing anything legal with this, however she wants proof of the report saying weed was in my... Read more »
Is it "legal" for her to request the records? Yes. Do you have to comply? No.
Legally? Possibly. I still would not advise you do it though, as you might raise more attention for yourself then you need right now.
I am in the process off renouncing US citizenship and riding solely on my native citizenship. I as a Cherokee citizen should not have to carry US citizenship to have access to my ancestry and my ancestors land. I will ask for a chancellor to come into Indian territory “Oklahoma “ and conduct my... Read more »
In a nut shell, the Native American tribes are considered domestic nations within the US not foreign nations (hence no US embassy). As a result you cannot denounce your US citizenship and expect to be able to remain in the US. This would restrict your business as well, unless you became a citizen... Read more »

Property is heavily wooded, house and pole barn are 1000 ft off the road and only driveway in is gated. Do I still have to have my 12 marijuana plants in a locked facility outside?
Check with a local attorney to be sure but I am unaware of any exception to that rule.
I understand the Michigan supreme court ruled individuals on probation can legally use medical marijuana. I have looked and I cannot find if this ruling would apply to individuals on bond.
There is a court of appeals case that says that you can. Tread carefully though....there can be a difference between what the court of appeals says the law is, and what individual judges determine it to be.
I’m not a lead they just ask me to help them out and told me to give bonus but they did not give me bonus. I trained few people but nothing. Can I file a lawsuit? How much can I get if I did?
While the promise to give you a bonus to train people is probably to vague to be enforced, you should be entitled to be paid for all hours worked, including the time you trained the other couriers. Unless you worked more than 8 hours total on that day or days, you would be entitled to pay at your... Read more »

My disabled husband was arrested for DUI and took a plea to a lesser charge because it seemed like all he could do. He took the plea with the understanding that it would not prevent him from using medical Marijuana as a brain tumor patient. The judge in lapeer County is not allowing him to use... Read more »
That judge is not the only one...what can be done? Appeal a revocation or sanction of probation.

No, it would not be legal as the State of Illinois requires a very strict licensing, regulation, and eligibility for any cannabis and its derivatives operation in the state.
Besides, such operation does not qualify as a Sec. 503 non-for profit entity as it would be geared towards profit... Read more »
i did it a long time ago and only now has anyone heard of it so now i am being threatened with prosecution without physical evidence.
Doing drugs is technically not a crime. Possession of the drug is a crime. That being said, if you were on some type of probation etc. that prohibited the use of any drugs then that could stand. Whether or not the prosecutor can prove that you had possession of a controlled substance or if you... Read more »
I am trying to start a cannabis vending machine business and need need to know if I need to get a permit to sell out of each machine and does the place of business need a permit also?
I think there are a few states that a vending machine could work. However, in most states, recreational or medical, regulations favor that a human check the customers I.D. (for recreational use) or their authorization to use cannabis (medical use) and confirm the person purchasing the product is... Read more »
The officer claims he found 6 roaches in my floor board, however I asked to see WHAT he found but he only explained WHERE he found them. I know for sure I vacuumed my vehicle out the previous day.
Not really as First Appearance is VERY limited in scope. You get to see the charges as presented to the court through the initial warrant or UTC. They check your criminal history, confirm some stuff, and can set a bond on many charges (not all). There is not a place for you to contest anything... Read more »
