Heroin Possession With Intent in Michigan

Heroin is strictly prohibited in the state of Michigan, and is classified as a Schedule 1 illegal narcotic. Michigan law harshly punishes anyone who breaks laws against heroin possession with intent to sell or deliver in attempts to curb the popularity of the drug. It is vital to your freedom and future that you hire a talented criminal defense lawyer to defend you in your drug crime case.

Heroin is a drug that is synthesized from morphine, and can be injected, snorted, or inhaled. The drug can be detected in the bloodstream or by urine testing, and a failed drug test could result in a drug crime charge. Street names for heroin include “smack,” “dragon,” and “mud.” This highly addictive drug was at one time legal, and promoted as cough medication. Heroin was made illegal, however, after authorities realized that users became dependent on stronger, more frequent, and more deadly doses of the drug. The risk of heroin overdose is high, which is why possession with intent to sell or deliver offenders are treated to harsh punishment.

Heroin possession is a serious charge that can bring about criminal penalties including jail sentences of 4 or more years, and fines of $25,000 and up in Michigan. When you are faced with a possession with intent charge for a Schedule 1 illicit narcotic such as heroin, however, penalties are much more severe. According to the Michigan Penal Code, criminal penalties for possession of heroin with intent are as follows:

  • Under 50g of heroin or a mixture containing heroin (felony): Jail sentence of up to 20 years and a fine of up to $25,000.
  • Between 50g and 450g of heroin or a mixture containing heroin (felony): Jail sentence of up to 20 years and a fine of up to $250,000.
  • Between 450g and 1kg of heroin or a mixture containing heroin (felony): Jail sentence of up to 30 years and a fine of up to $500,000.
  • Over 1kg of heroin or a mixture containing heroin (felony): Potential lifetime imprisonment and fines of up to $1,000,000.

Prior drug crime convictions, intent to deliver heroin to minors, or proximity of your alleged offense to churches, schools, parks, and businesses will add to the criminal penalties against you and could increase jail sentences or fines. Our Michigan lawyers protect you from the harsh criminal penalties that a heroin possession with intent conviction could bring.
