Law Firm for Cocaine Possession in Michigan

Cocaine is a Schedule 2 illegal narcotic in Michigan and possession offenders face serious criminal penalties if convicted. Cocaine can be found in powder form, which is snorted or dissolved and injected, or in a "freebase" form which is smoked. Cocaine also comes in a rock crystal form, called crack cocaine. This powerful stimulant is a popular party drug, and a 2003 study estimated that over 5.9 million Americans over the age of 12 used cocaine in the past year. The popularity of this drug has lead to an elevation in cocaine related crimes, and a greater need for criminal defense lawyers to protect the rights of those who are accused.

The U.S. is the number one cocaine consumer in the world, and the nation's second most popular drug contributes greatly to the need for experienced criminal defense lawyers.
