Arrested for Marijuana and in Need of a Prescription
The Washington State Medical Marijuana Act (Chapter 69.51A RCW) does not legalize the recreational use of marijuana. What it does is provide a legal defense for those charged with possession of marijuana that was prescribed by a doctor—in accordance with the law—to treat a serious medical condition.
Some clients are surprised to learn that the chronic pain and other medical symptoms can result in a prescription for medical marijuana. Only people with a valid prescription and proof of diagnosis can take advantage of the legal defense offered by the Washington State Medical Marijuana act. However, Mr. Karimi has received many favorable resolutions for defendants who are charged with possession or delivery of marijuana and received a prescription after being charged. Mr. Karimi is familiar with the medical process to help gain a valid prescription for marijuana.
Mr. Karimi has also vigorously defended those charged with misdemeanor VUCSA Possession less than 40 grams of marijuana. Most clients seem to be driving and stopped by officers who allegedly smell the odor of marijuana coming from a vehicle. Attorney Karimi has been able to suppress marijuana seized based on the illegal search of a vehicle, passenger(s), and driver. Washington affords greater constitutional protection than the U.S. Constitution. Mr. Karimi will make sure your rights are protected under both State and Federal Law.
