Quick Facts for Possession of Marijuana in Maryland
Below you'll find the Maryland Law as it pertains to possession of marijuana and possession of non-marijuana.  Since this reads like Latin to most, let me paraphrase.  If you are convicted in Maryland for possession of marijuana, you are facing a maximum penalty of 1 year and $1,000 fine of both.  Possession of marijuana in Maryland is a misdemeanor.  You are eligible for a probation before judgment if you are found guilty of possession of marijuana in Maryland.  An experienced possession of marijuana defense attorney in Maryland may be able to have the charges dropped all together through treatment or classes, but you are only going to get that benefit by hiring a possession of controlled dangerous substance attorney.

If you have been charged with possession of marijuana in Maryland, contact me at my office, 410-288-2900, to schedule a free consultation.  Don't let a simple weed conviction ruin the rest of your life and risk losing a job or being kicked out of school.

Quick Legal Facts for Possession of Non-Marijuana
For possession of non-marijuana, that is all other drugs in Maryland other than marijuana (i.e. Cocain, Heroin, etc,) for a first time offender, if you are convicted for possession of non-marijuana, you are facing a maximum penalty of 4 years and $25,000.00 or both. You are eligible for probation before judgment.  Possession of non-marijuana in Maryland is a misdemeanor, however, you will probably not get away with some classes or treatment and the case will disappear.  The Courts and State's Attorneys take these crimes more serious.
Office: 410-288-2900 Available 24/7
If you have been charged with possession of non-marijuana, contact G. Randolph Rice, Jr., Esquire, at his office, 410-288-2900, to schedule a free consultation.

If we can prove to the Court that you were in possession of the marijuana for medical necessity, you may only be facing a maximum fine of $100.00.  You should not try to argue this alone, seek the advise of an experienced criminal defense attorney in Maryland.
