The War on Drugs has been a societal disaster for our country. Use of illicit drugs is harmful to the body, mind and soul. Fentanyl is killing people. Still, enforcement of the Nation’s drug laws by imprisoning non-violent addicts and occasional abusers isn’t the answer. For one thing, it takes up too much of the time and resources of our legal institutions. Prosecution can lead to very unfair outcomes like asset forfeiture. Meanwhile, attitudes towards responsible marijuana use for adults are slowly changing across the United States.

But it remains illegal in many states – including Georgia. With the passage of the federal and state farm acts permitting hemp production, there’s confusion about what THC-isomers are legal in foods, waxes and oils.
In Georgia, from misdemeanor marijuana possession charges to serious felony drug arrests, if you or someone you know needs tough, competent legal representation, call attorney Alan J. Levine. As a prosecutor, Alan did his assigned job and successfully convicted many, many defendants. But he also worked with defense counsel to make sure that deserving individuals were offered the opportunity to complete pre-trial diversion programs that would help them get their lives back and avoid convictions.
