Distribution of drugs is usually charged as a felony with a minimum potential jail sentence of 1 to 3 years. You need to hire an attorney.

What age are you? If the crime was committed before your 21st birthday in Michigan, maybe you can be put on Holmes Youthful Trainee Act Status. If you successfully complete what the court wants then no criminal record or conviction.

You need a good lawyer to review the stop (if applicable) and search that led to the discovery of the drugs. And, it is possible you could get probation if the case cannot be beat.
