I am Accused of Marijuana Sales – What Should I Do? – California Health and Safety Code Section 11360

If you or someone you know has been charged with marijuana sales under California Health and Safety Code Section 11360, it is critical that you speak with an experienced criminal defense attorney. An attorney with drug crimes experience will know how to aggressively defend the charges to obtain the best possible result.

Selling marijuana is a felony. To convict the defendant, it must be shown that the defendant sold a controlled substance, knew of its presence, knew of the substance’s nature as a controlled substance, and the controlled substance was marijuana. This is what the prosecution must prove.

An attorney can help provide you with possible defenses to a charge of marijuana sales. An attorney can submit a motion to suppress evidence if the marijuana was illegally seized. Your case may be dismissed if the judge grants this motion.

You can be sentenced to state prison for up to four years if convicted of marijuana sales. The penalties are even harsher if you sold marijuana to a minor. Selling marijuana to a minor can be punishable by imprisonment for up to seven years in state prison.
