Health & Safety Code §11360 makes selling, transporting, and distributing marijuana in California a felony punishable by up to four years in State Prison.
A nice college kid like you in prison? I don't think so.
I'm not talking about the big pot distribution kingpins. I'm talking about regular college students who may have a little leftover and want to pass it on for a couple bucks; maybe the price for a larger quantity was lower so several students split the purchase. Whatever the situation, a felony conviction can get you booted from college and land you in State Prison with murders, rapists, and the criminally violent.
Prosecutions for marijuana sales among college students generally result from either a sale to an undercover narcotics officer, or from police observation of a sales transaction among third parties.
It is very common for cops to take a hidden "surveillance position" and watch an area known for drug use, such as college parties, sporting events, and concerts. They will be staring you right in the face and you won't even know it; could be the spunky co-ed, the enthusiastic fan, or the guy sweeping the trash or selling t-shirts. Police have become very good at hiding in plain sight. The cops will move in and arrest the suspects after they believe they've seen - or think they have seen - a transaction take place.
No. The internet is no safer. More and more police are busting marijuana sellers & buyers online. From their tiny cubicles down at the police station, Narcotics officers troll and monitor websites such as Craigslist, Kijiji, and eBay watching for buyers and sellers of weed or "weed related" items to post messages. They then respond by phone or email and arrange a "controlled buy" at which they arrest the seller.
Be real. The fact is that some law enforcement officers will lie, cheat, and do anything necessary to secure a conviction. Of course that is not true of all law enforcement officers, but rest assured, there are some and those officers don't care about your spotless past or your ruined future and they are not interested in the truth. If you or someone you care about is facing marijuana sales charges, REMAIN SILENT and get professional help from a skilled and aggressive attorney before it is too late.
