Drug Possession And Marijuana Offense Defense In Missouri

Getting pulled over on I-44 or US-65 and heading to jail in handcuffs changes your life in an instant. If you are facing misdemeanor or felony drug charges, you need clear answers and a strong defense. At Whiteaker & Wilson, PC d/b/a Law Office of Stuart P. Huffman, our attorneys stand between you and the state of Missouri to protect your future.

Our lead attorney, Stuart Huffman, understands the local legal system inside and out. As a former Public Defender, he has argued and won countless drug suppression motions in local courts. We use that experience to find the flaws in the police’s case against you.

Missouri Marijuana Laws: Fact Vs. Fiction

Many people think Amendment 3 made marijuana completely legal in Missouri, but that is a dangerous misconception. You can still face arrest and criminal charges under specific conditions:

  • Underage recreational marijuana possession: You must be 21 or older to possess recreational marijuana.
  • Exceeding the legal limit: Carrying more than three ounces of marijuana without a medical license remains illegal.
  • Driving under the influence: Cops will arrest you for driving high just like they would for drunk driving.

Selling cannabis outside of a state-licensed dispensary is still a felony.

Serious Drug Charges Require An Aggressive Defense

Missouri prosecutors treat hard drugs with severe penalties. If police find you with illegal substances, you need a drug possession lawyer in Springfield who understands how to fight these specific allegations. We defend clients against felony drug possession in Greene County involving:

  • Methamphetamine and fentanyl possession defense
  • Cocaine and unauthorized prescription medication charges
  • Drug paraphernalia charges in Missouri

Challenging Unlawful Police Searches

Many local drug arrests start with a routine traffic stop. The U.S. Constitution protects you from illegal searches under the 4th Amendment. Officers frequently overstep their bounds by stretching a minor traffic violation into an illegal vehicle search. We look at every detail to see if the police had a legal reason to search your car. If the police violated your rights, we ask the judge to throw out the evidence.
