Lawyer David Serna Talks About Responsible Marijuana Use

 The National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws or NORML supports the legalization of a controlled marijuana marketplace where reliable sources can legally provide safe and affordable cannabis to consumers. In other states in the U.S., where marijuana legalization is not yet attainable, NORML also advocates for the removal of all criminal consequences for the private possession and responsible adult use of marijuana.

 

Lawyer David Serna, as a member of the organization since 1985, advocates for the legalization of responsible marijuana use. He believes that responsible usage guarantees assurance that consumers have access to high-quality cannabis that is safe and affordable.

 

Unfortunately, not all American citizens fully understand what responsible use means. Please continue reading, as lawyer David Serna discusses responsible adult use of cannabis and some associated regulations.

 

Lawyer David Serna, like NORML, also advocates for establishing a legal, regulatory framework for marijuana retail production and sales. The organization believes that individuals should be able to legally cultivate their cannabis and maintains that provisions regarding this issue should be codified in the responsible adult use access law. They also believe that the inclusion of legislative requirements, protecting non-commercial home cultivation of cannabis, can serve as leverage in ensuring the cannabis in markets are high quality, affordable, and, most importantly, safe to use. Lawyer David Serna also believes that the authorities should subject cannabis products sold at public markets to third-party assessments, ensuring its quality that should be free from contaminants, which can potentially alter its effects on consumers. Excellent and proper testing and labeling ensure that responsible adult consumers will have consistent access to reliable and essential information and safe, standardized products.

 

As a criminal defense specialist and drug crimes lawyer, lawyer David Serna believes that those under twenty-one years old who possess personal use of reasonable amounts of cannabis should be given civil sanctions instead of criminal arrests and punishments. Mr. Serna is available for consultations during this pandemic. Either by email, telephone, video conferencing, and in-person visits under strict disinfecting protocol and mask requirements.

Impeaching a Witness Based on Inconsistencies

One way to undermine the evidence of an opponent is to impeach his or her witnesses based on inconsistencies in his or her testimony. Lawyers are always advised to listen during the direct and cross-examination because this is the perfect time to observe the testimony and behavior of the witnesses of their opponent. David Serna, a lawyer of over 40 years, offers helpful tips to both new and experienced lawyers. Today, he discusses prior statements of witnesses governed by the Federal Rules on Evidence 613. Discrepancies in testimonies are expected when several witnesses are testifying to the same incident. It is but natural that these individuals remember the details of the incident differently.   However, lawyers should consider only those errors and testimonial inconsistencies that are significant and deserving of the jury’s attention. Persistently bringing up minor inconsistencies will only waste the time of the court and will most likely annoy the jury. FRE 613 prov...

The Rules on Preliminary Hearing and Trial

Preliminary Hearings take place before a judge and only after the prosecutor has filed charges against a person. These hearings are not trials, which may be conducted before a group of individuals, called a grand jury. There are, however, procedural rules on trial that similarly apply to preliminary hearings. In this brief article, David Serna, a lawyer and educator for many years, discusses some of the rules that apply to preliminary hearings and trials. Like a trial, an ordinary witness can testify during a preliminary hearing. Generally, the testimony must be based on what they perceive and not on opinion. However, during a preliminary hearing, unlike a trial, hearsay evidence is allowed and admissible. Three things can happen after a preliminary hearing. If the charges are weak and unfounded, the judge would most likely dismiss the case outright. If there is, however, a finding of probable cause, the judge may either reduce or retain the charges made by the prosecutor...
