Criminal Charges for Marijuana Cultivation

Drug cultivation is a crime that involves growing marijuana for personal use or for sale/distribution. Also called marihuana under Ohio law, marijuana cultivation is a drug crime that may result in serious penalties if large amounts of the drug are involved. The sentence may range from 30 days in jail all the way to 8 years in prison, depending on how many grams of marijuana are discovered.

Contacting a Columbus drug crime defense attorney is a crucial step to take, away from imprisonment and toward an acquittal or dropped charges. With aggressive defense counsel by an attorney who is knowledgeable and experience in this field of law, you have the opportunity to avoid serious penalties that may be imposed for marijuana cultivation.

Defense for Drug Cultivation in Columbus

As with virtually any drug crime case, an important part of the criminal defense counsel that your attorney will provide will be to investigate all aspects of your charges, including how evidence was gathered, processed and discovered in the first place. If the marijuana or cannabis was discovered off an invalid search warrant or when Columbus or federal law enforcement did not have probable cause to conduct the search in the first place, this may be grounds for your attorney to file a motion to suppress that evidence. Without physical evidence of marijuana, the prosecuting attorney's case against you will suffer greatly. This is an example of only one type of defense strategy that may be used on your behalf. There are other violations of procedure or your Constitutional rights that may be committed by state or federal law enforcement in your drug cultivation case that can be used to benefit the outcome.
