A Manhattan, KS criminal defense attorney can help you if you've been arrested or charged with a crime or even a minor traffic infraction in Manhattan, KS or the surrounding communities. Possession of Marijuana and other illegal substances can land you jail time and major fines. On your second Marijuana offense, you're automatically charged with a felony.
Even more exasperating, if you're charged with possession more then enough Marijuana for "personal use" you may be charged with intent to distribute and no tax stamp. In order to get a tax stamp, you must go to the Kansas State Treasurer's office and obtain a tax stamp to affix to whatever "product" is in your possession. (If you're feeling a bit of outrage at this, you share my sentiment).
The important thing to remember is that when you have been arrested in Manhattan, KS call a Manhattan, KS attorney as soon as possible to discuss your case and preserve your rights.

Drug Possession Charges in Manhattan, KS
An unfortunate result of being a college town, Manhattan, KS has it's fair share of drug use and trafficking. Many a young college student, in the throws of college experimentation, will try marijuana and other drugs during their stint at Kansas State University.
Illegal or not, young men and women will inevitably try new things and sometimes it will lead them to getting caught with Marijuana, Cocaine, Psilocybin, among others, by the Riley County Police Department. No one ever wants to make the call to their parents to inform them you were caught with possession of controlled substance here in Manhattan, KS. It's worth noting that your first possession of Marijuana charge is a misdemeanor but your second is an automatic felony.
If you get caught with possession of controlled substances in Riley County, Geary County, or the aptly named Pott. County, contact a local Manhattan, KS lawyer to see what you can do to protect your rights and preserve your chances of a positive outcome at trial. And if you're selling, don't forget to have a tax stamp for your drugs.

Kansas Tax Stamp for Marijuana
If you sell marijuana (or any illegal drug) you still have to pay taxes on it and it's an extra crime if you don't.
That's right, not only is it illegal to possess Marijuana and sell Marijuana, it's also illegal to sell it without paying taxes on it. You may need to read that last sentence one more time.
If you don't want to get caught without a tax stamp for your marijuana, you must go to the Kansas Department of Revenue and pay for a tax stamp. This drug tax stamp must be affixed to the packaged marijuana signifying that the taxes on that particular package have been paid. Just because selling drugs is illegal doesn't mean that the state doesn't want their fair share. You may even need more then one marijuana tax stamp depending on the amount of marijuana you plan on possessing or distributing.
In the event you are found to have enough marijuana to be charged with intent to distribute, prosecutors almost always tack on the extra charge of no tax stamp. Absurd? Probably. Ridiculous? Absolutely.
If you've found yourself without a tax stamp and, primarily, charged with possession of an illegal substance in Manhattan, KS or Junction City, KS, contact a knowledgeable attorney in the area to review your case.
