Drug Cultivation Charges in Los Angeles

Los Angeles Drug Cultivation Defense Lawyer

The cultivation of marijuana is a serious offense in California, and if you are convicted, you could spend extensive time in jail or prison, depending upon the amount that is found in your possession. California lawmakers have passed laws that restrict the amount being cultivated and when there are more than 1,000 plants, a first offense results in a sentence of 16 - 36 months. When charged federally, the punishment is even more severe, and can result in a 10 years in federal prison. For a second federal offense, the penalties increase and you will face up to 20 years. If you are found to be cultivating from 1 - 49 plants, the penalty can include up to 5 years in jail or prison. These are extremely serious charges and affect your life forever if you are convicted. It is crucial that you get legal help from a Los Angeles drug attorney at once if you have been arrested and charged with drug cultivation.
