Heroin Crime in Mid-Michigan
Heroin has a high potential for addiction, and is classified as a Schedule I illegal drug which means that it has little or no medical value. Heroin is an opiate that is derived from morphine and many years ago there were forms of the drug used a legitimate medicine. Those days are over and it is now illegal throughout the United States and most of the world.
Because heroin can lead to rapid addiction, it also increases the risk of overdose. The substance remains in the body for a significant period of time after ingestion and can be detected through a urine analysis or blood test, which many times leads to criminal charges. Possessing, distributing, or manufacturing heroin is even more serious, and offenders could face significant jail time and fines if convicted.
Heroin is Considered a Schedule I Drug Crime in Michigan
Because Heroin is a schedule one drug, selling or manufacturing heroin can lead to even greater punishment, with as many as 20 years on the line for even a first offense under 50g. The law often enhances the penalty if the sale was to minors, sold in a school zone, or certainly if the charge is a repeat offender. A charge or conviction for heroin can be grounds for CPS to bring an action to remove your children from your house and possibly terminate your rights. If you are in a custody dispute a conviction will be evidence as a reason for change of custody.
