My case ended in a plea of Nolo contendere. My case was handled in pinellas county. The alleged offence was possession of marijuana.
Provided you have no convictions for any other offenses in your past, a withhold of adjudication on possession of marijuana should be eligible for a record sealing, not an expungement. Expungements are reserved for charges that have been dismissed by a judge or dropped by the State.
They’re was a home invasion and one of the two tenants were shot. The other tenant of the home shot the intruder but got away. A detective got a search warrant and found a back back out side the home with approximately 4lbs of marijuana in the bag with scales and a couple thousand dollars. In the... Read more »
There are many different possible charges there, but a good estimate would be 6 to 8 year SOL 's. I recommend the tenants get new phones/computers, keep their mouths shut, and not ask anything about returning the firearms.
The police arrested me for a burglary of an inhabitants charge while removing jointly owned property from a motel room. When they got me to the facility they found a tiny bit of pot on me that I had found in the room. Arresting me for burglary was erroneous. But can they drop the burglary charges... Read more »

On a 3rd party calling child protective custody on family
The answer based upon the facts presented is no CPS cannot take the child. However, be aware that until ordered to do so by a judge, you do not have to take a drug test.
I am 19 facing a DUI charge. I made the terrible decision to drive after I was drinking with some friends. I did not really know my limit; therefore, I was too intoxicated. Prior to that I smoked marijuana so I know that both substances will appear in my blood sample. The violation listed on my... Read more »
I would hire a competent local criminal defense attorney. At a very minimum, you will spend 48 hours in jail, perhaps more with the marijuana charge. You will have to attend a DUI class and pay fines and court costs.
If you want a license, you will have to pay for an ignition interlock... Read more »
Any other legal advice about starting an online smoke shop
Based on what you have stated, you are probably a sole proprietorship.
You should ask your lawyer or the probation officer. Most courts prohibit medical marijuana while on bond or probation.
This was a few months ago and I lived in my own place. I have no history of abuse or records. Will this affect my mothers ability to get custody of my brother? We have all of the evidence of him being abusive and I always take care of my brother. He’s going to try and make it seem like my mother... Read more »
It does not matter what you chose to do when you were an adult on your own.
Yes. It is not legal, but merely a lesser penalty (civil infraction) for smaller amounts of plant marijuana.
The fact that you're a beneficiary of a trust will not affect your eligibility to apply for a MED license.
How much does a car cost? It depends on what type of car. A good car costs more than a bad car.

YES you have to report it. Lying on an application to a bar is an offense worse than possession of marijuana - be truthful and consult an attorney who works on bar applications
I'm hoping to learn the statutes, and regulations

The WA state website does not specifiy, and I cannot find this answer *anywhere*. I've no desire to touch, buy, or sell marijuana. I want to start a website that sells the equipment to grow it, though. Hydroponics, LED lights, blah, blah.
Most states do not require a specific license, except a business license (and perhaps City license) to work in the areas you have described.

I have been charged with possession of paraphernalia, possession of marijuana and a class c felony of chemical endangerment of a child due to having bongs and pipes and marijuana.
Probably not, but you certainly could. You need to immediately retain a criminal lawyer.
There really is no advantage to concealing this. By statute, the family court cannot draw any negative inference from a valid medical marijuana card.
