Drug Possession in Michigan
Drug possession in Michigan is a crime that can involve several substances and be charged in varying degrees, but one common denominator is that possession of a controlled substance is a serious charge. Michigan laws state explicitly that:
It is unlawful for any person to knowingly or intentionally:
Possess a listed chemical with the intent to unlawfully manufacture a controlled substance;
Possess or distribute a listed chemical knowing, or having reasonable cause to believe, that the listed chemical will be used to unlawfully manufacture a controlled substance;
Any person who violates this section is guilty of a Felony of the Second Degree.
There are different amounts of controlled substances that decide whether possession of them would warrant a felony or misdemeanor charge, and they are listed below:
Cocaine: Possessing more than 10 grams is a felony;
Marijuana: Possessing more than 20 grams is a first-degree misdemeanor;
Heroin: Possessing more than 10 grams is a felony;
MDMA: Possessing more than 10 grams is a felony.
Michigan statutes define drug trafficking as:
Any person who knowingly sells, purchases, manufactures, delivers, or brings into this state, or who is knowingly in actual or constructive possession of (a controlled substance). These are felonies in nature, and they carry significant prison terms as consequences.
Smuggling
Drug smuggling is the act of transporting any controlled substance into Michigan illegally with the intent to either distribute or possess said controlled substance. Given that these issues often involve crossing state lines, these offenses are often federal in nature, and federal sentencing guidelines are very serious in nature.
Intent to Distribute
Being charged with possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute adds a degree of seriousness to any drug-related charge. Several facts could lead to this charge, including storing these controlled substances in several small packages or even a notepad with phone numbers and schedules being found in the defendant’s home.
