Drug Crimes: Sale and Possession of Controlled Substances in Minnesota.

Possession or sale of controlled substances is a serious crime in Minnesota. Even a first-time offender with a residual amount may face a gross misdemeanor offense, all others will be battling a felony charge carrying the potential for prison time. You can read more about the different types and severity of drug charges here.

In addition to the direct criminal consequences, drug charges can impact many areas of your life. Drug charges may affect your employment, housing, immigration status, and custody or parenting time with your children.

Lastly, drug charges are considered “crimes of violence” in Minnesota. This means you will lose your right to have firearms if you are convicted. Finding a strong defense attorney early can increase your chances at receiving significant charge reductions or even beating the case.
