If it was more than 35 grams, do you know what sort of sentence you would be looking at if you plead guilty?

We Want to Get the Marijuana Charge Reduced So That It Does Not Show Up on Your RecordIf these are questions for which you do not have a solid answer, then it is time you speak with a good lawyer!! Why? For one thing, an attorney can describe to you how the drug laws in Missouri work (which are some of the harshest in the entire country), and what exactly your best options may be.
