Marijuana Cultivation Charges in Orange County, California

If you've been accused of marijuana cultivation, it is important for you to take immediate action by consulting an experienced attorney. You have the right to legal counsel, and your decision to exercise this right may have a significant impact on the outcome of your case.

Drug cultivation is a crime that involves growing and manufacturing marijuana, including handling cannabis seeds, cultivating seedlings and plants in soil or hydroponically, and drying or processing marijuana after it has been harvested. The penalties for marijuana cultivation in California are severe. Cultivation involving even a single marijuana plant may be charged as a felony, punishable by up to 3 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

Medical Marijuana & Cultivation Charges

California is one of several states which have adopted medical marijuana laws, allowing for the use of marijuana for specific medical conditions. However, to possess, cultivate or distribute marijuana one must have a valid identification card or must be licensed by the state.

Because of the state's crackdown on drug crimes of all kinds, legal grow houses and other marijuana cultivation facilities have been unfairly targeted as criminal activities. If your drug cultivation charges involve marijuana that was being grown or processed for lawful medical purposes, we at the Law Offices of Fred Thiagarajah may be able to help prove this in court or in negotiations with the prosecution in order to positively impact the outcome of your case.
