What Constitutes Cocaine Possession?
According to the DEA, cocaine is a Schedule II drug, meaning that it’s considered to be dangerous and has a high risk of abuse.
Schedule II drugs are also identified as having a high potential for severe physical or psychological dependence.
Other Schedule II drugs include methamphetamine, methadone, Adderall, and Ritalin.
Cocaine comes in two forms:
- Hydrochloride salt powder
- Crack cocaine
Possession of cocaine is determined by whether or not you have control over the drug.
This means that you can be charged with possession even when the drug is not physically on your person.
For example, if it’s found in your home, car, or office, you potentially could be charged with possession.
The punishment and fines for possession are determined by the severity and circumstances of your case.
Penalties for a conviction of cocaine possession include:
- Possession of fewer than 50 grams: Imprisonment up to four years and/or a $25,000 fine
- Possession of 50 to 449 grams: Imprisonment up to 20 years and/or $250,000 fine
- Possession of 450 to 999 grams: Imprisonment up to 30 years and/or $500,000 fine
- Possession of 1,000 grams or more: Life imprisonment and/or $1,000,000 fine
Other cocaine charges can include manufacturing, delivery, and trafficking.

Reviews From Our Clients
Bryan Smith
Barton was amazing and I could not have had the positive outcome without his guidance. His team is prompt and great to work with. He even called while out of the country on vacation, which I feel shows he went above and beyond what someone might expect from their attorney. Experienced and cares! I would highly recommend Barton!
Leng T.
Very professional. I came and spoke to Barton Morris about my situation and my case. I asked him if he was willing to help me. He asked about the details and my background and history. He give me a positive confidence he can help me and my odds. His price is reasonable. He’s not one of those hole in the wall lawyers who treat you as a number. You are a human being with a personal life. You treats you as a valued client no matter how big or small the case.
Kelly M.
I had Mike Norman as my lawyer for a case. I just wanted to come on here and thank him for doing his best for me. I am grateful during this stressful time. I’ve used Barton Morris as a lawyer about 11 years ago and he was awesome which is why we came back. I do recommend!
Thomas Smale
Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful when it comes to navigating the complicated nature of cannabis businesses in Michigan. I met with Barton where he answered all my questions about the pre-qualification application, and was prompt in answering subsequent questions through email after the meeting was completed. I certainly plan to continue utilize Barton’;s knowledge in the future.
