Possession With Intent to Distribute

Possession with intent to distribute refers to a legal charge often related to drug offenses. It means that an individual has illegal drugs in their possession, and the amount or situation suggests they plan to sell or distribute those drugs, rather than just using them for personal use. Law enforcement looks at factors such as the quantity of drugs, packaging, or any selling tools found with the individual. This offense typically carries harsher penalties, as it implies a larger involvement in the drug trade and poses greater risks to public safety.
