Drug Charges & The Penalties The penalties you will face if you’re convicted of a drug crime in Michigan generally depend on (1) the drug, (2) the amount, and (3) what you were doing with it.
1st -- Some drugs are treated more harshly than others. The more illicit the drug, the more severe the punishment. So, for example, if you possess 10 grams of heroin you will be liable for a felony punishable by up to 4 years in prison. If you possess 10 grams of psilocybin, you will be liable for a misdemeanor and up to 1 year in jail.
2nd -- The quantity of drugs involved matters. This is probably fairly obvious, more drugs means more serious consequences. For example, possession of 20 grams of cocaine is a felony punishable by up to 4 years in prison. Possession of 2,500 grams of cocaine is a felony punishable by up to life in prison.
3rd -- What you were doing with the drugs will make a significant difference. “Personal use” of even the most illicit drugs will typically be a misdemeanor. But if you “possess” that same drug, it will be a felony. The most severe penalties are reserved for delivery or dealing, possession with intent to deliver.
