Possession of Synthetic Marijuana in Sauk County

Over the past couple of years, Wisconsin, as well as across the United States, we have seen an alarming increase in the number of synthetic marijuana overdoses.  In July of this year, there was a reported 102 overdoses in one county alone.  With this problem not going away anytime soon and the number of emergency responses increasing, prosecutors are cracking down on individuals accused of possession and the sale of synthetic marijuana.

In the state of Wisconsin, law currently states,

"If a person possesses or attempts to possess a controlled substance specified in s. 961.14 (4) (tb), or a controlled substance analog of a controlled substance specified in s. 961.14 (4) (tb), the person may be fined not more than $1,000 or imprisoned for not more than 6 months or both upon a first conviction and is guilty of a Class I felony for a 2nd or subsequent offense."

If this is the first time you have been accused of possession of synthetic marijuana, the consequences can be just as serious as if this were a subsequent offense and should not be taken lightly.
