As you know, California passed Prop 64 last November, making marijuana usage legal in California. However, as you might expect, the prop is not that simple to follow. There are details and complexities written within the prop and forthcoming laws.

There are regulations and concerns that must be addressed. Here is what you should know right now:

• Anyone over the age of 21 can use, possess, and share up to one ounce of flowers or eight grams of concentrate of marijuana.
• Anyone over the age of 21 can grow marijuana at home. What is tricky now is that a person cannot purchase a cannabis plant. Rather, they must receive it from another person who is already growing marijuana, and there must be no money transfer. In addition, no more than 6 plants may be grown at home at one time.
• The state has until January 1, 2018 to get through all the rules and red tape so they can begin issuing licenses to marijuana businesses. Do not expect many stores to be ready to sell product until 2018 unless a customer has a medical card or license.
• Similar to how smoking cigarettes and tobacco in public is illegal, smoking and/ or ingesting marijuana in public is illegal.
• If a person plans on traveling outside of California, they cannot take marijuana with them and vice versa. No outside marijuana is allowed to be brought into California.
• Being under the influence of marijuana and driving at the same time is illegal, no matter how much or how little was smoked.

The state and local and federal governments will continue to flush out the laws on marijuana use in California over the next year. There will be state-wide laws and then there will be more localized laws by county or city. It will be a slow transition until everything is ready to go.

If you are a marijuana user, the safe bet is to stay up-to-date on news and changes with the marijuana laws so you do not accidentally get into trouble.

Just like an F in high school did not stop you from graduating, an arrest is not going to stop you from your future endeavors, it will just put them on a momentary pause.

The best way to face an arrest and trial is to simply be prepared. For the next steps. For possible outcomes. For unexpected turns in events. For backlash. For a sharp increase in maturity and responsibility. For financial rearrangements. And so much more.

Take on this preparedness with your chin held high and a mindset ready to tackle anything and everything. There is no room for embarrassment any longer. Have a positive, hopeful attitude. Keep supportive loved ones close and take their help when they offer it.

The stronger a person can be throughout this tough situation, the faster this whole thing will blow over. Soon enough, this person is back on track to achieve their future endeavors.

If a loved one of yours happens to be this person, or if it is you, post bail with a bail bond. Bailing out of jail is a huge first step to moving on, and Canoga Park Bail Bond Store can provide the bail bond.

If you committed some sort of illegal action some years ago, and continue to think about how you got away with it. If you worry that it is going to come back and haunt you one day, you should learn what ‘statute of limitations’ means.

A statute of limitations refers to the time within which legal proceedings may be brought against the suspect. This time period ranges based on what the crime is – it could be 5 years, 10 years, or there may not be a statute of limitations at all, like for very serious crimes such as murder. The clock starts ticking when the crime has been discovered.

So, if you committed a crime 3 years ago, and prosecutors have 5 years to charge you, you can be charged anytime between now and 2 years. However, if you committed a crime 6 years ago and the statute of limitations was 3 years, you are off the hook.

So if you are worrying about whether or not you can still get in trouble for something illegal you did a few years back, look up the statute of limitations for the crime.

In the instance you are arrested and charged for that crime, Canoga Park Bail Bond Store can help you post bail. We offer affordable bail bonds and custom payment plans, making it easier and faster for defendants to post bail.

At Canoga Park Bail Bond Store, we are often asked if tax return money can be applied towards bail bond payments and the answer is always yes. Once the return is successfully transferred into your bank account, it is 100% your money and up to you to decide what you want to do with it. This means you can use it to pay for a bail bond.

If you wish to use your tax return money for a bail bond payment, then you can write a check or send in cash. Canoga Park Bail Bond Store also has a convenient and secure online payment portal if you wish to use a debit or credit card for payment.

Make sure you stay on top of your bail bond payment plan. Keep receipts of transactions and payments. Do not fall behind because this would jeopardize the bail bond and your loved one’s freedom.

Just like you are being a support system to your loved one who is out on bail, we, Canoga Park Bail Bond Store, will also act as a support system for you. Your Canoga Park Bail Bond Store agent will be there to assist and advise you through the entire process. We want to get your loved one out of jail as much as you do.

We hate to boast, but California is quite a lively state and is filled with plenty of day and night activities. The cities, towns, clubs, bars, and beaches all share one rule: drinking and driving is a no-no. Today, with the many transportation options out there, there really is no excuse.

You can designate a sober person in the group to be the driver for the night. Have someone drop you off then pick you up later. Walk, or take public transportation. Call a cab, Lyft, or Uber. You have plenty of options to choose from.

The cost of a DUI is astronomical compared to paying for bus fare or an Uber driver. For a first time offense in California, a DUI can be up to $1,000 which does not include any possible hospital bills or car repairs.

We want you to have fun, but we want you to have fun responsibly. We hope you will never have a minor slip-up but if you do, please contact Canoga Park Bail Bond Store to help you bail out of jail. Bail can also be very expensive, but our bail bonds will help lower the cost quite a bit.
