The Honest Guidance You Need To Best Protect Your Rights

Defense Of Drug Charges

Possession of a small amount of marijuana was decriminalized here in Harrisburg in 2017. It is now a summary offense where offenders will get a ticket, no arrest and there is no criminal record. However, the judges in town will still levy serious penalties and fines for other types of drugs as well as illegal actions involving marijuana. In addition, of course, marijuana possession outside of Harrisburg can still be a criminal issue.
