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)
