Drug Crime Defense Lawyers Serving Tampa & Sarasota Clients

Medical Marijuana

Florida has some of the harshest laws against marijuana in the United States and does not recognize the medicinal value of marijuana.  Despite the fact that a medical necessity defense has been established by Florida case law, patients remain at risk of being arrested and jailed because legislators have yet to enact a medical marijuana law.  Although Florida courts, public opinion, and 13 other states reflect a trend that recognizes the legitimate use of medical marijuana, Florida patients remain exposed to the state's harsh possession laws. Every single medical marijuana patient in Tampa and Sarasota continues to live in fear because Florida's penalties for possessing small amounts of marijuana are among the nation’s toughest.
