According to Michigan drug laws contained in the Public Health Code, a person cannot lawfully possess a controlled substance with the intent to manufacture, create, or deliver that substance. In addition, it is illegal to possess prescription forms for illegal narcotics with the intent to sell or deliver them.
The maximum sentence you could face if convicted of possession with intent to sell or deliver in Muskegon varies, dependent on the type of drug you possess and the amount you possess. For marijuana, possession of any amount of the drug with intent to sell or deliver will result in felony criminal charges, and it is crucial that you connect with an experienced criminal defense lawyer immediately if you or your loved one has been investigated for or charged with possession with intent.
If you are convicted of possessing marijuana buds, plants, joints, or in any other form, and police believe you intended to sell or deliver the drug, you could face extremely harsh criminal penalties.

If you possess an amount between 5 and 45 kilograms, or between 20 and 200 plants, you could face up to 7 years in jail and a fine of up to $500,000.
