Possession of a Controlled Substance in Michigan

The war on drugs has resulted in countless false convictions and miscarriages of justice in Michigan and nationwide. As courts seek to prosecute individuals accused of drug related offenses, key details can be overlooked, or low-level offenders punished unjustly. The massive amount of drug-related cases handled by the court means public defenders are often overburdened with possession, distribution, and manufacturing cases, and if yours gets lost in the pack, you could face years behind bars and other harsh penalties you may otherwise be able to avoid.

Possession of a Controlled Substance in Michigan

Possession is one of the charges most often faced by alleged drug crime offenders. If you are caught with drugs on your person or property, you can be charged with drug possession. In many cases, this can be something as simple as a joint or other marijuana related items. Other common substances include cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines, LSD, steroids, and unlawful prescription drugs.

The specific penalties that you face in a drug possession case vary greatly based on the type of drug allegedly possessed, and the amount in your possession, however could be as serious as life imprisonment and massive fines. Additionally, there is always a danger in possession cases that prosecutors seek a more serious charge, such as possession with intent, especially if larger amounts of a drug are involved.

The most important thing you need to keep in mind if you or a loved one is facing drug crime accusations or an investigation is to utilize every right at your disposal. One of the first rights you can use is your right to remain silent. Even if you know that you are innocent, don’t give agents or officers anything until you speak with your lawyer. Speaking with your lawyer, too is a critical right, and one you should utilize to your advantage at the earliest opportunity.
