Simple possession means you had control of illegal drugs without the intent to sell them. You did not possess enough cocaine or heroin to meet the element of quantity. However, if you stored the drugs in such a way that it would appear to the police that you had intent to sell them, you can be charged with possession for sale. It does not matter if you actually sold the drugs. Proof of intent is enough to charge you with possession for sales.
It depends on the quantity of illegal drugs you had as well as on other circumstances. Generally, the more you possessed, the longer the sentence may be enhanced. You face up to 25 years in prison or more and a fine of $8,000,000 if you are convicted of trafficking over 80 Kilos (2.2 lbs.) of cocaine, crack or heroin. You can speak to one a drug defense attorney at Wallin & Klarich today to receive immediate answers to your questions regarding the specific facts of your case.
