Difference Between Simple Possession Vs. Possession With Intent To Distribute
While simple possession typically involves a small amount of drugs intended for personal use, possession with intent to distribute is a more severe charge that suggests a person had plans to sell, distribute or deliver drugs. The key factor that distinguishes these two charges is intent. Law enforcement often determines intent based on various factors, such as the quantity of drugs found, the presence of packaging materials, large sums of cash or communications suggesting drug sales.
If convicted of possession with intent to distribute, the penalties are much harsher than those for simple possession. You could face significant prison time, hefty fines and a permanent criminal record. However, a strong defense can challenge the evidence, the circumstances of your arrest or even the intent behind the possession.
