Prescription Drugs & Medical Marijuana

Protecting the victims of “victimless crimes”

Drug crimes are often called "victimless crimes" because no person was harmed in commision of the crime. However, Utah can be completely unforgiving to those charged with drug crimes, especially those charged with crimes related to prescription drugs and medical marijuana. Instead of providing people with the medical or psychological treatment they need, Utah classifies them as criminals and often sends them to jail. The Law Office of Harold W. Stone, III proudly represents clients who have been victimized by these laws, and works tirelessly to protect their rights in court.

As helpful as prescription drugs are for relieving pain, they are also highly addictive substances that can create terrible withdrawal symptoms for users. These symptoms can lead ordinary people to forge doctor’s prescriptions or seek out these drugs from family and friends.

Attorney Harold Stone knows that even good people can make mistakes. As a Salt Lake City criminal defense lawyer, Mr. Stone protects clients charged with prescription drug crimes throughout Utah, including prescription fraud, illegal possession of prescription drugs, and metabolite DUI charges stemming from having traces of prescription drugs in your system while driving.

Medical marijuana user? Be extremely careful in Utah

Out-of-state residents with a medical marijuana prescription must use extreme caution when visiting Utah. Utah’s drug laws have no exemptions for out-of-state visitors, and if you are pulled over with marijuana in your vehicle, you will be charged with drug possession and sentenced to six months in jail. Moreover, if you have any measurable amount of cannabis in your system, you can be charged with a metabolite DUI and lose your driver's license for up to six months. It does not matter whether your past use was legal, and prosecutors will show no mercy while handling your case.

Attorney Harold Stone works to prove your innocence by protecting your constitutional issues and introducing evidence that you had a current and legitimate prescription for your marijuana. This is currently a hotly contested area of law, and Mr. Stone is on the cutting edge of criminal defense representation when it comes to this issue in Utah.
