Royal Oak Marijuana Attorney
Royal Oak Marijuana Attorney
Out of all the actions Michigan State considers to be a criminal violation, possessing marijuana might be one of the most controversial. According to the legal statute, marijuana is a Schedule 1 substance – on par with heroin, LSD, and others – and is therefore illegal to possess in any amount. Even an amount as slight as half an ounce could be enough to put you in handcuffs.
To protect yourself from the harsh, often one-sided criminal justice system, you need to take action as soon as possible. If you have been arrested or accused of marijuana possession, a Royal Oak marijuana drug crime lawyer from Rasor Law Firm can defend your rights.

What Is Possession In The Eyes Of The Law?
It should also be noted that slight amounts of marijuana in your possession are likely to be the only amount capable of being booked for simple possession. Anything greater than a few ounces could lead police to deduce that you were going to sell or distribute the marijuana to others, which would escalate your crimes to marijuana possession with intent to distribute, an even more serious charge.
Penalties For Simple Marijuana Possession
Michigan State views marijuana possession, even in its simplest forms, as a severe violation of the law. It is often charged as a high-grade misdemeanor, depending on how much and where the substance in question was discovered.
Penalties for marijuana possession in Michigan include:
Up To $2,000 Fine Paid To State
Up To 12 Months In Jail
Probation After Release
Possible Occupational Change
Marijuana Paraphernalia Is Also Illegal
