NJ Marijuana Sales Defense Attorneys
In addition to having to pay steep fines and face incarceration, individuals arrested for marijuana sale in the State of New Jersey can face additional penalties and inconveniences:
- Your driver's license could be suspended for up to two years
- Depending on the amount of pot found, you can face felony charges
- If you're convicted of a felony, you could lose your right to vote in State and National elections for the rest of your life; and you could suffer reduced employment, housing, and loan opportunities far into the future.
To put it more plainly, if you're caught selling a small amount of marijuana to your best friend in the privacy of your own home, according to current New Jersey State Law, this act constitutes a felony that could change your life forever.
In addition, judges can levy discretionary penalties, depending on the nature of the offense. If, for instance, you're arrested as an operative in a New Jersey marijuana and narcotics ring, you could face other criminal penalties. Likewise, if you're arrested while operating a motor vehicle, tending to the care of minors, or strolling around or near a public park, school or other special zone, you could face stiffer than minimum penalties.
That said, just because you've been arrested for a marijuana sale offense doesn't mean that you're automatically condemned to do jail time, pay tens of thousands of dollars in fines, and be stigmatized as a felon. With an adept defense, it's possible to beat back New Jersey marijuana sale charges and either get them dismissed altogether or get them pled down to much more palatable charges.
