    Default Drug Possession Laws in Minnesota

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Minnesota


    Hello im 16 i was recently found at school with around 20 adderal that i paid for.

    There was a text on my phone which the police took without consent that said " can i get a adderal tommorrow" i then said " sure but keep the addy sales on the down low" i ment this text as in dont tell peopl i sell adderal cause i dont. I took them cause my grades were shitty and i needed to get my work done. This was my first offence. I got excpelled for possession. Because it was my second drug charge through the school. The previouse was for weed.

    Ask for a public defender. Face it, you are a serial drug dealer. You won't convince anyone with your story.

    Seems they've got you with possession of a controlled substance at the very least.

    Given that you were intending to give a pill to someone else, intent to distribute or distribution are not off the table.

    You need to ask for a Public Defender in court. Plead Not Guilty, ask for a PD, then shut your mouth until you meet with one.

    As Missy says, you need a lawyer. This is serious. First off, it it happened anywhere NEAR school, it can be third degree possession which is a felony that has has a penalty up to 20 years. The sentencing guidelines are probation to 54 months. Given priors, jail time is entirely likely. Otherwise it's a fifth degree possession which is good for up to five years. Depending on what the disposition of your prior is, you may be subject to a mandatory minimum sentence of six months.

    Regardless of your reasons, we don't allow people to self prescribe Schedule II drugs in this country.

    Are you deaf? You were caught on school grounds with twenty doses of a Schedule II drug. As I stated, this is a felony with a potential of twenty years in prison. Even if you were lucky enough to get probation, there are lifetime implications to a felony conviction. Do not believe that a family friend judge is going to let you off because he knows you. In fact, if he had a shred of integrity, he'd recuse himself if he had any such feelings to you. Further you offered to sell it. Drug dealing of scheduled drugs on school property is NOT going to be engender leniency.

    You need to shut up and get a lawyer.
