Penalties for Cocaine Possession in Michigan
According to the drug class schedules in Michigan, cocaine is considered to be a Schedule 2 illegal drug. Cocaine comes in many different forms including power or crystal rock form and it can be snorted, injected, or smoked. When cocaine is in crystal form, it is referred to as crack cocaine. This drug has become increasingly popular over the years. In fact, it is now the second most popular drug in the nation. It has also been found that the U.S. is the number one leading consumer of cocaine around the globe. That is why law enforcement officials and prosecuting attorneys are cracking down on cocaine users. This drug can be extremely addictive, which is why it is more important to help cocaine users in seeking help, rather than sticking them in overpopulated prisons. The drug crime lawyers at my firm can seek a full dismissal or reduction of your charges and have your sentence geared towards treatment instead of incarceration.
Possessing cocaine is a felony charge, no matter the amount. The penalties vary for cocaine and crack possession, depending on the gram weight that you are found with. According to the Michigan Penal Code, the penalties for cocaine possession include:
A four-year jail term and/ or a fine of up to $25,000 for possessing under 50g
A 20-year jail sentence and a fine of up to $250,000 for possession of 50g-450g
A 30-year jail term as well as a fine of no more than $500,000 for possessing 450g-1kg
A potential life long sentence along with a fine of up to $1,000,000 for possession over 1kg
