Minnesota Drug Crime Laws
Minnesota drug crimes range from the most minor of offenses (possession of a small amount of marijuana) all the way up to felony level offense with mandatory minimum sentencing requirements. The severity of any offense depends upon factors including:
- the type of controlled substance,
- the amount of the controlled substance,
- the accused’s intent regarding the controlled substance (possession, sale, or manufacture), and
- the accused’s prior record, if any, for drug offenses.
Felony Controlled Substance Offenses
Minnesota felony controlled substance crimes are categorized into essentially five main categories:
Additional Felony Controlled Substance Crimes
- Conspiracy
- Possession of Substances with Intent to Manufacture Methamphetamines
- Medical Marijuana Crimes
Obviously a felony-level conviction for any of these offenses will have devastating consequences. If you have been charged with a controlled substance offense contact the Balmer Law Office to schedule a free and confidential case evaluation. There are many possible defenses that apply to drug cases. Every case is unique and needs to be independently evaluated.
Non-felony Controlled Substance Offenses
- Possession of Drug Paraphernalia
- Possession of a Small Amount of Marijuana
- Possession of Marijuana in a Motor Vehicle
While the direct punishments for the above misdemeanor offenses are not nearly as severe as the felony-level offenses, convictions for misdemeanor offenses often come with harsh and surprising collateral consequences like the loss of a driver's license or ineligibility for federal student loans / aid.
