Unlike many other states, North Carolina does not tolerate marijuana for medical or recreational purposes. Any amount of marijuana is considered a criminal offense and can result in repercussions. However, the state has reduced the severity of some penalties.
If you are found in possession of less than 0.5 ounces of marijuana, you only face misdemeanor charges and a $200 fine. However, if you have 1.5 ounces or more in your possession, you will face felony charges.
Most people think of drunk driving when they hear about driving while intoxicated (DWI) charges. However, it is also illegal to drive under the influence of illegal drugs or prescription drugs that impair your ability to safety operate a motor vehicle.
Unlike drunk driving, proving that an individual is under the influence of drugs may be more difficult, since there is no breath test that can detect the presence of drugs. An individual may be evaluated based on their behavior, driving ability and whether there is drug paraphernalia within the car at the time of the traffic stop. These factors can be subjective. A skilled criminal defense attorney can evaluate your case and determine whether your rights were violated during the traffic stop.
