Drug crimes in Minnesota encompass a spectrum of illegal activities, including drug possession, sales, and manufacture. Charges vary based on factors such as alleged weight, value, and involvement, ranging from petty misdemeanors to serious felonies. While mere possession charges may sometimes be less severe than distribution, sale, or manufacture charges, aggravating factors like combined drug and weapon possession or prior convictions can escalate penalties. At Loon Law, we handle all types of drug charges. Contact us today for a complimentary consultation on mounting a defense against any drug charge.
