Common Legal Questions
What should I do if I'm stopped by police with cannabis?
Remain calm and polite. Know your rights regarding searches and seizures in your state. You generally have the right to remain silent and the right to refuse a search without a warrant. See our Know Your Rights guide for detailed guidance.
Can I be fired for using cannabis legally in my state?
In many states, yes — even where cannabis is legal, employers can maintain drug-free workplace policies. However, a growing number of states have passed protections for off-duty cannabis use. See our Workplace Rights guide.
Can I clear a past cannabis conviction from my record?
Many states now offer expungement or automatic clearing of past cannabis convictions. Eligibility depends on your state, the nature of the offense, and when it occurred. See our Expungement Guide.

You may need a cannabis lawyer if you are facing criminal charges, dealing with an employment dispute, starting a cannabis business, or seeking expungement. See our Cannabis Lawyers Guide.
