What are Marijuana Concentrates?

THC Concentrate is essentially a marijuana extract. Trahydrocannabinol (THC), is the psychotropic chemical in the marijuana plant. TCH is extracted into potent levels, called Concentrate. It is much stronger than smoking marijuana, meaning less is needed to achieve the same feeling.

Since Cannabis Concentrates are so strong, compared to marijuana, Texas law automatically classifies TCH Concentrates as a Felony, under Penalty Group Two.

Texas Statue 481.116 deals with Marijuana Concentrate, which is in Penalty Group 2: possessing under one gram would be a Third Degree Felony. One to four grams is a Second Degree Felony.

What You Need To Know

While the overwhelming majority of marijuana and TCH users (legally and illegally) treat THC concentrates about the same as regular marijuana, Texas law has not caught up. In Colorado and other "legalized" states, a person can buy a legal piece of candy or baked good containing THC oil or Cannabis Concentrates. But that same item in Texas is a Felony! Luckily Keates Law Firm has had recent success in getting THC oils and Marijuana Concentrate cases treated more like the old fashioned Possession of Marijuana cases.

Cannabis Concentrates

Because Cannabis Concentrates are so potent, THC can be used in a large variety of goods. Most common THC Concentrates in Travis County would be:

• THC Wax
• THC Oil
• CBD Oils
• THC Honeycomb
• THC or CBD Flavored Liquid or Syringe
• THC Brownies or Baked Goods
• Marijuana Chocolate

Because it's a drug related conviction, a THC case could have an effect on Student Loans and the FAFSA applications. Lastly, in some cases DPS has been suspending a person's Texas Driver's License because the THC Concentrate is drug related, causing a six month driver's license suspension.

How We Can Help

Your goal should be Dismissal for any Possession of THC Concentrate charge. While not every case can be dismissed, often times the goal becomes avoiding jail, or getting a reduced charge, or even getting a favorable probation with a possible dismissal at the end, called Deferred Adjudication. If dismissed, a person can later seek an Expunction of a Criminal Record, which is where a Judge Orders the offense records destroyed, including police reports, court records, and prosecutor files.

Likewise, if Deferred Adjudication is successfully completed, the person can have thier record sealed through Motions for NonDisclosure.
