Possession of a Schedule I or II Drug in Michigan
Possession of Schedule I and II substances can lead to the most serious criminal penalties, which can include substantial fines, years in prison, and a felony criminal record. Drugs classified as Schedule I and II include heroin, cocaine, LSD, and methamphetamines. While marijuana is also classified as Schedule I, different penalties apply to the drug.
If convicted of possessing a Schedule I or II controlled substance, you will face the following penalties:
- Possession of between 25 and 50 grams can lead to up to 4 years imprisonment and as much as $25,000 in fines.
- Possession of between 50 and 450 grams can lead to as much as 20 years in prison and $250,000 in fines.
- Possession of 450 grams to 1 kilogram can result in up to 30 years in prison and half a million in fines.
- Possession of over 1 kilogram can result in life imprisonment and a million dollars in fines.
Possession of Marijuana in Lansing
The penalties for possession of marijuana are different than those for other Schedule I and II drugs. If you are caught possessing any amount of marijuana, you could be faced with up to a year in jail and $2,000 in fines. If you possess an amount that suggests you may intend to distribute marijuana, however, you will face extremely enhanced punishment.
Possession of Ecstasy or Methamphetamines in Michigan
Like marijuana, possessing ecstasy and methamphetamines is not punished in the same way as other Schedule I and II drugs. Possession of any amount of meth or ecstasy will lead to up to 10 years in prison and $15,000 in fines. Manufacturing or distributing (or intending to do either) will lead to substantially larger fines, and potentially greater prison sentences.
No matter what drug you are accused of possessing, it is critical that you speak with a lawyer as soon as possible. Grabel & Associates is ready and available to begin working with you, and can provide you with premier representation throughout your Lansing drug crime case.
Our Approach to Michigan Drug Possession Cases
In drug crime cases, the investigative stage is crucial, and certain actions taken by police can actually help your case later on. Police need to have cause to search you, and if something is found without a warrant, it might not be admissible in your case. In addition, certain procedures must be followed during your arrest, and your rights must not be violated in any way. Our lawyers will look over every detail of your case and stand with you throughout investigation, ensuring that any police mistakes are brought to light.
We want to protect you against wrongful conviction and will fight to prove your innocence. Our dedicated attorneys will not rest until every aspect of your case is thoroughly reviewed, and our experience in past cases will be extremely valuable throughout the justice process.
