does CBD = DUI? by FRANK C. DEPASQUALE JR., ESQUIRE
Q: Can you be charged with
a DUI if you use CBD oils you buy at a corner store? My friend smokes the oils and said he failed a DUI test because he tested positive for marijuana. No, a person can’t be charged with DUI as a result of using CBD oil legally purchased in a store because over-the-counter CBD is made from Hemp not marijuana. Hemp-based CBD is legal and contains less than .3% of THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana that produces the “high” sensation. CBD oil made from marijuana is not sold over-the-counter and can only be purchased in a medical marijuana dispensary or illegally on the street. If your friend was charged with a DUI as a result of CBD oil consumption, he did not purchase it at a corner store.

It was enacted to stop people who move out of the state from not paying their taxes on income earned from the sale of a property.
Q: Can credit card com-
panies put a lien against my property if I can’t pay them? I thought unsecured debt can’t be attached as a lien. Credit card companies are getting very aggressive with collection of credit card debt. They are now filing suit against the cardholder and obtaining a judgment. The judgment then becomes a lien against the cardholder until paid.

a senior citizen and my daughter wants me to move back to Philly. A friend said I have to pay an exit tax if I sell my house & move out of the state. It is a misnomer and not a tax on moving out of the state. It is a flat tax on the profit from the sale of a property in New Jersey.
