Medical Marijuana in Maryland – Good News, Bad News

Maryland legalized the use of medicinal marijuana in 2003. However, marijuana possession is still a crime in Maryland. The maximum penalty for possession of marijuana is a fine of $1,000 or one year in jail or both.

 

Unfortunately, the statute does not stop a court from entering a finding of guilt against such a defendant, even if he or she has a legitimate medical necessity for possessing marijuana.

Court

"Mike isn't just an attorney, he talked to me as if I was a family member.

Mike made himself available for any questions that I had and he went above and beyond to ensure that I understood all of the possible scenarios. Mike doesn't just want to win your case for you, he wants you to be the best version of yourself before the case is tried and after it is over. He genuinely cares about your wellbeing and that is beyond what anyone could ever ask for. Not only did we get the most favorable result, but I have someone who I feel like is genuinely in my corner should I ever need them." - Andrew Lopez
