What is a Federal Marijuana Trafficking Crime in South Florida? 

Federal Marijuana Trafficking is a federal crime for those who are found in possession of certain amounts of marijuana and have crossed state lines with the Marijuana. The amount of marijuana you’re found in possession of determines if it’s a trafficking charge and the level of the crime you face.

The legal definition of Marijuana Trafficking under federal law is: intentionally possessing marijuana with the intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense it. Both the amount you have on you and whether or not you crossed state lines determines whether or not it classifies as a federal marijuana trafficking offense.

The federal statue (21 USC 844) prohibits the possession, use, or distribution of illicit drugs – including marijuana – by federal law.

Federal Marijuana Trafficking Defense Strategies

  • Not aware of the drugs in possession: In a scenario like this, if there is proof that the drugs were planted on you and you had no awareness that you were in possession of the Marijuana, it’ll be a significant defense in your favor.

  • Not enough evidence to prove ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ the crime of marijuana trafficking: One example of not enough evidence could be that there was not enough probable cause to be arrested in the first place. Another could be that there is simply not enough conclusive evidence to prove you are guilty of the crime which could result in charges being dropped or a not guilty verdict at trial. 

  • Evidence was obtained as a result of an illegal search and seizure: Evidence cannot be used against you if it was obtained illegally in a crime scene, or investigation. Dissecting your case and deposing the officers who arrested and investigated you is pivotal to determining if the evidence against you was legally obtained or not. If the evidence was illegally obtained, it can’t be used against you in court.

    I had an unfortunate situation with a family member that lead to my arrest and being charged with DV Battery. This was the first time I had ever been arrested so I was very nervous and afraid of what was going to happen to me. After talking with Adam I decided to retain him and let me tell you this was the BEST decision I could have ever made. Adam made me feel so comfortable and confident that everything will turn out the best in my favor. He is professional, ethical and supportive. He was always available too answer any questions or concerns.Not to mention, his team at the office is awesome they are so friendly and welcoming. Anytime I had a question when I called the office they were able to guide me in the rightdirection. They always were in contact with me with any information or updates regarding my case. Adams team is GREAT!Adam delivered, my case was DISMISSED. So if you want an attorney the is gonna fight for you and get the job done retain the BEST there is Adam Rossen!!!

    Adam Rossen and the team at Rossen Law took great care in handling my case. They are very professional, and get the job done. I was particular relieved to see just how much empathy they showed with me, and how effortless it was to be their client.I literally visited them twice. My initial consultation, and then to pickup the final docs. I have nothing but great things to say about these folks, and I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks Guys.

    I had an amazing experience with The Rossen Law Firm. The staff were very professional. Attorney Susan Lawson went above and beyond working on my case. We were thoroughly prepared for trial. Mrs. Lawson reviewed hours of body and dash camera footage multiple times and aggressively performed depositions on witnesses and law enforcement.The final outcome for me was the state dropped my case, due to the great work Susan and the Rossen team performed. I didn’t even need to go to trial.This law firm does not play around. They pay attention to detail and they FIGHT FOR YOU!Thank you Adam, team, and a special thank you to Susan for your amazing work! I really appreciate you.

    My experience with Rossen Law Firm was excellent. From the consultation to the end.. My attorney Susan Lawson gave my son's case all the time and attention that was needed to be successful in court. She was confident during all the court proceedings. My favorite part was when she said we are family, never once my son and I were treated other then that. I very much appreciate the knowledge and support I received through Rossen Law Firm.
