I got arrested for driving down the highway with a half pound in Battle Creek Michigan. Facing a 4 year felony. Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum

Hope they do not have mandatory minimums! Uhhggg! It sucks when they take away judicial prudence from a judge.
Your thread title says intent to sell. Did you have it all baggied up with a scale in the car and a shitload of cash on you? If so, then yeah, thats a felony. If you had any weapons you are double fucked.
A good lawyer could get you down to a simple possession charge as Michigan law doesn't have different penalties for different weights. If it's also your first offense you could luck out and get a conditional discharge. It's all dependent on circumstances though. Did you have it in many separate baggies as another poster asked? Have a scale on you? Michigan is a medical state, and a half pound is an amount a caregiver with enough patients could legally possess. Definitely get a good lawyer but don't give up hope. You might not be totally fucked. Good luck from a fellow Michigander.
