As an F1 visa holder, you are subject to federal laws, and any violation of these... View More

Yes, absolutely they will take away your children if you smoke marijuana while pregnant. It's not an issue of whether it's legal--the issue is that it's dangerous for the child.
Use of marijuana while pregnant can cause a variety of problems, including restrict your... View More

Based on your question, I cannot tell whether you have a pending charge or a conviction for DUI from 2012. If it is a pending charge, then there is likely an active warrant for your arrest and you will need to get the warrant quashed and handle the DUI case before the driver license hold will be...

I was hoping someone could explain the apparent contradiction between legally growing six plants and legally having no more than 1 oz in possession. I have never grown pot before so I was reading up on it, and it looks like each plant could produce over a pound of marijuana. It seems possible that... View More

You are right. That was not a very thoughtful piece of the legislation. There is an argument that you would have several plants, in different stages of growth, and harvesting and using the cannabis as you need it. But if you are only getting one ounce per plant, even if you are growing an unusual... View More

Possession of marijuana in Arizona
California resident (Legal in CA)
Criminal charged
First offense
No doctor letter
Officer told me its a misdemeanor

There really is no advantage to concealing this. By statute, the family court cannot draw any negative inference from a valid medical marijuana card. If the opposing party alleges substance abuse, you may be ordered to test randomly for an extended period of time. The card may help preempt that.... View More
