How Serious Are Drug Charges in Michigan?
Michigan treats drug crimes harshly. Factors that affect severity:
Drug type: Schedule I drugs like heroin carry harsher penalties.
Amount: Larger quantities increase the chances of felony charges.
Intent: Simple possession vs. intent to distribute or manufacture.
Past convictions: Repeat offenses trigger enhanced penalties.
Federal implications: Trafficking across state lines may become a federal case.
