POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA

Marijuana laws in Michigan are constantly evolving. Some people use or possess the substance for medicinal purposes, but may not be properly registered with the State of Michigan. The Michigan Medical Marihuana Program (MMMP) has extensive guidelines and rules that require strict adherence. Depending on the number of plants or amount of product in one’s possession, the potential charges can range from a misdemeanor to a felony. With effective legal representation and a thorough examination of the facts, many charges can be reduced or dismissed. When you or an associate are facing possession or other marijuana charges, it is essential to retain experienced legal representation.
