Although a small set of marijuana offenses can be misdemeanors, the majority of drug crimes in Minnesota are felonies. A felony conviction will impact your ability to own a firearm, your right to vote, your right to possess a firearm, and your ability to obtain and retain employment. A drug conviction will also prevent you from receiving certain student loans. These charges should never be taken lightly, and you should never take a plea without consulting with a skilled Minnesota attorney.
