If you suffer from a qualifying medical condition, you could be granted registration under the state medical marijuana program, as outlined in the medical marijuana act. Under this act, patients are allowed to grow up to 12 plants at a time, provided they are in a closed, locked, facility, and can possess up to 2.5 ounces of useable medical marijuana. Registered caregivers can possess these amounts for each patient legally attached to them through the program.
Possessing an amount in excess of what is allowed under state medical marijuana laws, or committing another illegal act such as selling your medicinal marijuana, can lead to extremely harsh criminal penalties. While it is already serious enough that you will lose your membership in the state medicinal marijuana program, you could face jail time, fines, and a criminal record. It is critical that you do everything you can to fight back against conviction if you are accused of violating drug laws in Kalamazoo, and our team is always ready to start walking you through what you need to do in order to get a great case result.
If you are convicted of possessing more than the amount of medical marijuana allowed under your patient registration, you could face up to 2 years behind bars, a fine of up to $2,000, and a felony record. If you are charged under possession with intent to sell/deliver legislation, however, you could face up to 7 years in prison and a $500,000 fine, along with a felony record.
