Miami THC Concentrates Lawyer

While most people are familiar with the cannabis plant, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)—the primary euphoric chemical in marijuana—can be extracted to produce concentrates which are often more potent than the dried leaves people are accustomed to. While simple possession of marijuana is a misdemeanor offense, possession of any amount of a THC concentrate will result in felony charges. If you are being charged with this offense, call the Miami THC concentrates lawyer at The Hoffman Firm for help.

THC concentrates come in various forms (powder, liquid, or glob-like masses commonly referred to as ”budder”) and go by many different street names, such as “shatter,” “wax," or "butane hash oil (BHO).”
In most cases, possession of a cannabis concentrate is a third degree felony. However, if someone possesses, sells, manufactures, or delivers a THC concentrate within 1,000 feet of certain locations, they can be charged with a second degree felony.
These locations include:
- Public housing facility
- Child care facility between the hours of 6 a.m. and 12 midnight
- Public or private elementary, middle, or secondary school between the hours of 6 a.m. and 12 midnight
- Public or private college, university, or other postsecondary educational institution
- Community center (meaning “a facility operated by a nonprofit community-based organization for the provision of recreational, social, or educational services to the public”)
- Physical place for worship at which a church or religious organization regularly conducts religious services
- State, county, or municipal park
- Publicly owned recreational facility
- Convenience store or gas station
- Assisted living facility
Defending Yourself against a Conviction
A third degree felony cannabis concentrate offense is punishable by a sentence of up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $5,000. When a person is charged with a second degree felony, a conviction can result in up to 15 years in prison and fine of up to $10,000. The good news is that you can defend yourself.
Some defenses might include:
- Illegal search and seizure
- Constructive possession issues (concentrate belonged to another party)
- Entrapment
- Legal prescription for concentrate
- Alleged controlled substance was not actually a THC concentrate
- Lack of evidence
