Marijuana Possession Charges in Uplands Park, MO - for as little as $450

Did you recently get charged with possession of marijuana in or near Uplands Park, MO (or somewhere in the St. Louis area)? Are you now pursuing your options? Are you concerned about your legal rights? Do you know if you were caught with more or less than 35 grams of the substance? Did you know that if you plead guilty to this charge, you could potentially spend up to one year in jail? Are you aware that by hiring an experienced attorney, you can very often get the charge reduced?

If you are unsure about the answer to several of these questions, then it is time that you speak with an attorney!! Why? Because most people in Uplands Park, MO simply plead guilty when they are facing marijuana possession charges. They just want the whole thing to be over, and they believe that by pleading guilty, they can get the entire affair out their way. But this is terribly short term thinking!!

Pleading guilty to a drug crime will stay on your permanent record forever. As a result, it can haunt you in years to come. If for instance you want to apply for a job with such a conviction, you are going to have a very difficult time finding anything (because most potential employers run criminal background checks to screen out applicants); if you are wanting to maintain governmental benefits, you will see those funds dry up (because most state and federal rules disallow anyone from gaining benefits with a drug charge); and getting a student loan is much more difficult.

As of January 1, 2017, the following laws regarding marijuana possession went into effect:

1. If you are caught with less 10 grams of marijuana, it is a Class D Misdemeanor (unless you’ve already been convicted on a prior possession charge, in which case it would be a Class A Misdemeanor).
2. If you are caught with between 10 – 35 grams, it is a Class A Misdemeanor.
3. If you are caught with between 35 grams – 30 kilograms, it is a Class C Felony.
