Marijuana, known as "weed," "pot," "hash," or any number of other names, is the most widely used drug in Michigan and throughout America. "Pot" possession charges are very common, and anyone who even smokes "pot" could be subject to both jail time and a fine. Possession carries even larger criminal penalties, though Michigan law is not overly harsh in punishing either of these crimes. Growing marijuana, however, is extremely serious, as Michigan has some of the toughest cultivation laws in the country.
Depending on the amount of "weed" you possess at the time of your arrest, police and prosecutors may push for a charge of possession with intent to sell or deliver. These accusations will bring about extremely harsh penalties, but you can be shielded from punishment if you start working with a lawyer as soon as possible. We will fight to ensure your charges are not increased based on questionable assumptions, and will uphold your rights throughout your criminal process.

If you are caught smoking marijuana, you could face a misdemeanor conviction and up to 90 days in jail and a $100 fine. Possession of weed is still a misdemeanor, but more serious, with penalties of up to one year in jail and fines of as much as $2,000. If you possess marijuana plants, however, you will face a felony cultivation charges which can land you in jail for a significant amount of time. According to the Michigan Penal Code (333.7401), the minimum jail sentence for marijuana cultivation is 4 years in jail and a fine of up to $20,000. Depending on the number of plants you possess, you could spend up to 15 years in prison and be fined as much as ten million dollars.
Other factors can contribute to your criminal punishment for marijuana possession. If you are caught possessing marijuana in close proximity to a school, park, or church, you will be subject to increased penalties.
