Re: drug possession

No expungement ("setting aside a conviction"). Why? The court rules require that the charge that might be set aside has to be that person's one and only criminal conviction anywhere ... not just his "one-and-only felony". An innocuous misdemeanor (like DWLS) will make him ineligible to expunge anything under current Michigan law. But, laws change over time and maybe the Legislature will change the eligibility criteria and open the door for him.

As for getting MCL 333.7411 status ... he is also inelibible by definition to get this because the opening sentence to 333.7411(1) says: "When an individual who has not previously been convicted of an offense under this article or under any statute of the United States or of any state relating to narcotic drugs ...". Your friend HAS been previously convicted of a drug crime. So, he cannot cross even the first hurdle for eligibility.

Bad behavior follows you, and criminal records are very tough to erase. It's not like shaking an Etch-a-Sketch toy to give yourself a clean slate.
