The grow was where four different properties meet. The plants were removed and 30,000$ fine was issued to me. But a lien was placed on the property. The land owner lives out of state and had no knowledge of any activity. Is removing the property lien hold possible?

If you were fined $30,000 for a marijuana grow in a rental property, and a lien was placed on the property, it is possible to have the lien removed if you pay the fine or reach a settlement agreement with the governing authority that imposed the lien.
However, it is important to understand... Read more »

It is likely--even under California law--that your employer can legally fire you for failing a drug test.
I advise you, however, to keep the CBD oil that you used and to have it tested for THC. Although it is extremely rare to test positive on a drug test as a result of using CBD oil,... Read more »

the best advice any lawyer can give you is to ask the court to appoint a Public Defender at your first appearance.

I agree with the advice already given about the importance of sitting down with a lawyer to review your agreement. The only additional point I would make is that current regulations governing licensed cannabis operations prohibit subletting. (Cal. Code Regs. Title 4, Section 15000.4; effective... Read more »

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.

Drug related DUI's are more difficult for the DA to prosecute because there are no set standards regarding the level of the MJ in your system for a presumption that you were under the influence unlike alcohol related DUI's (.08).
Business and it's products are completely legal. The product I sell is firewood and water from a ground well that has water rights. Most customers use this on properties that are large MJ grows illegal by county ordinance but also used for housing among the same properties
answered on May 10, 2021
It depends on the nature of the product, by whom it's used and for what purpose.
For example, you posted this question under several categories including Cannabis & MJ law. MJ is now legal for persons over the age of 18. However, if you sold/ delivered MJ to a minor (under 18)... Read more »
