    Default Possession of Marijuana

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan

    Hello. To cut to the chase, me and 4 of my friends (5 of us total) were caught smoking weed. We were in my car, in a park in town. It's cold this time of year, and my windows fog up at a moments notice and we didn't see any police coming (no headlights or anything), but we were all very startled when a policeman knocked on my window! I had weed (around 7g), along with a pipe & 2 grinders. My friend also had some weed ( .3g), and my other friend had a pipe as well. This is my first offense, but it will be the 2nd for my friends.

    • what kind of charges should I expect?
    • this took place in a park (unknown if city owned or federally owned), will that make things worse?
    • should I seek legal counsel?
    • the officers said we would all be charged, but 2 of my friends did not have anything illegal on them, so what can they be charged with exactly??


    Thank you! any help is very much appreciated!

    From what you just told us you were caught in possession of marijuana and paraphernalia, so I would expect that likely charges would be for possession of marijuana.

    It sure couldn't hurt to talk to a lawyer.

    Your friends can be charged with possession of marijuana.

    Thank you for providing some clarity I suppose. We have all just been very worried. When the officers pulled us over to talk 1 by 1, they had told one of my friends that we would be charged with dealing, however there was no scale (I think that this was for intimidation since they were also asking about our sources). On top of that, no ticket was issued, and I wasn't arrested which is really strange according to many of the people I have been talking to. So as you can see, this is a very peculiar situation.. Anyways, thanks again.
