The medical marijuana laws are quite specific and there are forms of marijuana, items of paraphernalia, and methods of consumption that remain illegal even for those with a card. You should hire an attorney to look into the specifics of your son's case.

The police never gave the signed warrant to the clerk to file. Took 11 months to return the warrant and it's not the same cause number. Also no bodycams? Why
answered on Jan 30, 2023
First, body cams are not required by law, so there is nothing abnormal or problematic with not having body cam video in discovery since not all officers are equipped with body cams.
Second, it is not uncommon for search warrants to be obtained under a unique cause number and not in the same... View More

Your question does not contain enough information to provide you an answer. It appears you have a question about timing requirements when you miss an interview with USCIS. You should contact a local immigration attorney ASAP, if you missed an interview.

Yes. Possession of marijuana is still illegal in Maryland, even if the amounts are below the criminal threshhold and only qualify for the civil infraction, and simple possession will remain illegal until the new Maryland law goes into effect in July 2023. After that time, mere odor of marijuana... View More

It is a civil citation and not a criminal charge. You cannot be sent to jail. Since you are under 21, the judge can order you to a drug treatment or education program.
An attorney may be better able to raise technical defenses such as insisting the State be able to prove the substance was... View More
