Syllabus

Appellant forfeited her challenge to the constitutionality of the Reagan Tokes Law where appellant failed to first raise the issue with the trial court. Arguments challenging the constitutionality of the Reagan Tokes law are forfeited and will not be heard for the first time on appeal. Additionally, appellant's claim alleging she received ineffective assistance of trial counsel given appellant's trial counsel did not subpoena certain witnesses and employed one defense rather than another were insufficient to support an ineffective assistance of counsel claim as those decisions are considered strategic trial decisions that cannot form the basis of an ineffective assistance of counsel claim.
