    Default Impact of Drug Charges

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Michigan

    I was caught in a car while smoking marijuana with two other people. They found a scale, beer, and crushed aderal and concerta. Since I did not hang with these kids often, the cops knew that the other stuff was not mine and that I was only partaking in the marijuana. I also went straight to the hospital to get a drug test to show that I was not part of any of the activities involving the ADD medicine. They said that out of the three I was the only one worth saving and that they would write facorable recommendations to the judge. My questions involves things that the cops said. I heard three different stories from three different cops. One said that my charges could be dropped to a Disorderly person charge. Another one said that I would be a prime case for the 74-11 statute. The other one said that anything can happen and not to count on anything. I wanted to know what is more likely and which one would be the best to ask for. I want to be a lawyer and I was also wondering if either of these scenarios would affect my ability to get Bar ceritified as a lawyer.

    Thanks for the help.

    Police officers are not lawyers... well, at least not usually... and they are certainly not YOUR lawyer.

    What is the statute number of your charge?

    Go ahead and start shopping for an attorney. You are going to do anything and everything you can to beat this...

    And yes, this could effect your future employment opportunities.

    I do not know the number. All I know is that we had less than 8 grams on us. I don't know if this matters but it wasn't just an officer. The captain talked to me and my dad for 45 minutes and explained the process to us. He'd been working there for 26 years. Like i said, I don't know if that matters.

    Oh and I'm being charged with possession for personal use. They're going after the other kids with a felony though.
