If you are charged for trafficking, it is important that you understand the severity of this case from the start. Trafficking charges are considered a felony and may lead to penalties including fines and jail time. With the use of medical marijuana, there are some businesses that have the right to grow and sell marijuana to patients. Without this authority from the government, a life altering conviction may be faced including up to 15 years in prison and ten million in fines for 200 or more plants or 45 kilograms or more. Even if drugs are never sold, possession with intent can be charged when there is reason to believe that the suspect was holding the drugs for the purpose of selling or transporting them.

Defense Against Charges in Michigan

When allegations are made by law enforcement, it does not mean that the crime was actually committed. It is important to work with an attorney that not only understands the different defense options, but knows how to implement them effectively. Questions should be asked, such as if law enforcement had the authority for the search in the first place, or if evidence was obtained without following protocol.
