Drug Distribution
Would distribution of marijuana get someone prison time?

Re: Drug Distribution
The offense could, theoretically, get you prison time. The biggest factors are the weight of the quantity seized and prior convictions. "they got me with a QP, I'm on parole for PCS II w/intent." -That will mean harsher punishment than "Police seized two Zs and I have only a prior PO of possesion under a Z". The options open to you expand if you have counsel.
Re: Drug Distribution
it can, usually depends on the quantity, the number of times, and the prior record of the person.
also, if it is near a school or other special areas.
also, if the person has a deadly weapon near the drug - the farther away the deadly weapon, the better
remember, giving away less than 1 oz of MJ is not distribution - free means that nothing is given in return (not even sex)
Re: Drug Distribution
possibly, it is a felony.
