Marijuana Possession With Intent Laws in Detroit, MI
Although marijuana is technically classified as a Schedule 1 narcotic in Michigan, there is separate legislation dealing with the punishment of marijuana possession and possession with intent. Detroit has some of the more lenient marijuana possession laws in the country, excluding those states which have recently decriminalized recreational use of the drug, however this leniency does not extend to cases involving intent to sell or deliver, or cases involving cultivation of marijuana. Anyone who has been accused of possession of marijuana (pot, weed etc.) with intent to sell, deal, or deliver the drug needs to get in touch with a qualified drug crime defense attorney right away and begin to work through some of the legal issues that will be involved in the case.
