Arrests for Ordering Marijuana by Mail

Ordering marijuana by mail can land you in serious trouble. If caught, you will face state-level charges at the minimum. Many people believe they can get away with ordering marijuana by mail as they will not be held liable if they can allege they didn’t expect to receive the package. This defense won’t hold up in a court of law if there is sufficient evidence against you proving otherwise.

Even if you have not yet been visited by police or feds, this does not mean you are safe from prosecution. In fact, this kind of charge can lead to separate charges under separate sovereigns, meaning you can face separate sentences in both state and federal court for this one offense. The police may be working to build a case against you, which is why you need to consult an attorney immediately.

If you have been arrested for ordering marijuana by mail, follow these tips:

  • Don’t make any statements or answer any questions
  • Do not consent to police searches
  • Consult with a lawyer
  • Avoid being pulled over or arrested for any other reason
  • Pass a drug test ASAP, if possible
