Medical marijuana is a new and changing area of law that your experienced Las Vegas defense lawyer will be keeping up with.
A medical marijuana card does prevent law enforcement from arresting you for certain crimes, including simple possession and cultivation. You are allowed to have up to one ounce of marijuana in your possession, or three mature plants or four immature plants for personal cultivation and use.
Having a medical marijuana card does not mean you are immune to prosecution for any drug offense. You can still be prosecuted for selling marijuana, intending to sell it , and driving under the influence of marijuana.Also, marijuana remains illegal under federal law, even for medicinal purposes although most federal agencies have stated publicly that prosecuting medical users of marijuana is not a priority.
