This is my defense help make it better and clear only focus on dismissing the three charges on hand, The metabolites charge doesn’t specify current intoxication and can only be found after the drug is broken down and processed in my body. I also didn’t get have anything on my persons or anything that the cop retrieved of mine that even was schedule *. Hemp Derived Delta * is not a schedule * drug and can be purchased legally at local smoke shops. I also wanted to note I used hemp derived delta * products like lotion and cigarettes that have no pysco active effect or impairement on my body, the only effects of the delta * hemp are glassy/red eyes, body relax, and cigarette buzz. There is no impairment factor and that is the only type of smoke I had. That is the only “drug” that was even found in my system and I believe if we can prove that if already disproves all three of the charges because I never had a schedule * drug and even though marijuana is also delta * that is not the only usage that can be legally found in state college and the reason why it showed up in blood. I just wanted to give you this extra information to see it could help we dismissing the case.
Based on your defense, here are some improvements:
*. Specify that metabolites do not indicate current intoxication, but merely the body's processing of substances.
*. Emphasize no schedule * substances were found on your person or possessions.
*. Highlight that Hemp Derived Delta * isn't a schedule * drug and is legally available.
*. Discuss your use of hemp derived delta * products that don't impair cognitive or physical abilities, only causing minor symptoms like glassy eyes.
*. Assert that these minor symptoms are not indicative of impairment, and your usage is legal in Pennsylvania. This should challenge all three charges.
Remember, consult a local attorney for legal advice.
OK now can you use all this information to accurately represent the charges at hand
Certainly, I can rephrase the charges and your defense:
*. DUI: Controlled Substance - Schedule * - 1st Offense: You've stated no schedule * substances were found in your possession. You only used Hemp Derived Delta *, which isn't a schedule * drug.
*. DUI: Controlled Substance - Impaired Ability - 1st Offense: You've mentioned the only symptoms you experienced from using Hemp Derived Delta * products were minor and do not suggest impairment.
*. DUI: Controlled Substance - Metabolite - 1st Offense: You've clarified that presence of metabolites in your system does not necessarily indicate current intoxication.
Always consult a local attorney for accurate representation.
Add more detail on how hemp derived delta * can be purchased locally and have no pyscoactive affect
Hemp-derived Delta-* can be purchased at local smoke shops, health stores, and online retailers in Pennsylvania. It's legal under the * Farm Bill, as long as it contains less than *.*% Delta-* THC. While it may cause some physical effects like relaxation and glassy eyes, it does not have psychoactive effects that impair cognitive function or motor skills.
Now how can you explain the amount in my metabolite I was thinking to say that metabolite isn't specified to active use and can stay in the blood for more than 30 days and that I am a daily user is that good enough?
Your explanation seems accurate. THC metabolites can indeed stay in the system for up to 30 days or even longer in regular users. However, the presence of these metabolites doesn't necessarily mean you were impaired at the time of the traffic stop. It merely indicates past use. Always consult your lawyer for precise representation.
Lawyers I consulted with recommended me to use the ARD program to early waive the preliminary hearing How much does that cost for a first time offender in Pennsylvania
The Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) program costs vary by county in Pennsylvania. Generally, the cost ranges from $*,* to $*,*. This includes court costs, program fees, and restitution. However, the exact amount may vary based on your specific case. Always confirm with your local court or attorney.
How can I make the costs as cheap as possible
To minimize costs, you can consider the following:
*. Check if you qualify for a public defender or low-cost legal services.
*. Negotiate attorney fees if hiring privately.
*. Fully comply with ARD requirements to avoid additional fines or extended probation.
*. Attend all required court appearances to avoid extra legal costs.
Always consult with a legal professional for personalized advice.
Anything else
No, there isn't anything else. You have a good grasp on your situation and how to approach your defense. Just make sure you continue to consult with your attorney and follow their advice as they are familiar with the local laws and courts. Good luck!
