Hammer Arrested For Drug Possession

Actor Armie Hammer was arrested for the possession of marijuana in the same small Texas town where rapper Snoop Dogg and folk singer Willie Nelson were also arrested in the past. Hammer, who is best known for playing both Winklevoss twins in the film "The Social Network," was stopped by border patrol agents at a checkpoint while in Sierra Blanca, Texas on November 30th of last year. Drug-sniffing dogs searched his vehicle and reportedly found three cookies and one brownie that contained medicinal marijuana. Hammer was arrested by border patrol agents and spent one day in jail before posting $1,000 bail and being released from police custody. No word has been given on when Hammer is expected to return to court.

Your Los Angeles Drug Crime Defense Attorney can tell you that according to federal laws, the use of marijuana is illegal in this country. However many states, including California, have decided to allow the use of marijuana for medical purposes such as the treatment of chronic and often debilitating health conditions. In order to legally use marijuana in this state, you must have a valid prescription from a licensed doctor. Your Los Angeles Drug Crime Defense Attorney can also tell you that the manufacture and sale of marijuana are strictly controlled. Because of the overlap in jurisdiction between state and federal law enforcement agencies, however, people in California and around the country who have valid prescriptions for the use of marijuana are still arrested all the time.
