拥有的指控
Common drug charges in New Jersey involve the possession of CDS. 这些罪行包括:
- 持有少于50克大麻 -这被认为是妨害治安罪, 这意味着你要被监禁6个月, 不超过一美元的罚款,000, 和 驾照悬挂 最长6个月.
- Possession of more than 50 grams of marijuana or possession of non-marijuana related CDS – New Jersey law classifies these as indictable offenses with potential incarceration of up to 5 years 和 fines not exceeding $35,000.
- 持有吸毒用具 -这被认为是妨害治安罪 with penalties similar to those of a small amount of marijuana.
制造及分销费用
Serious drug offenses in New Jersey are those that involve the manufacturing, 分布, 或者持有并意图发行CDS. These are usually considered indictable offenses with greater penalties. 类似于持有毒品的指控, manufacturing 和 分布 charges also depend on the amount of the substance involved. Additionally, the location of the arrest may also result in more severe penalties. If you were arrested within 500 feet of a housing project or public park, 或在1,000英尺的学校, you may face enhanced penalties even if you didn’t know you were located near these places.
The amount of the substance 和 the corresponding charge varies depending on the type of substance involved. 例如, manufacturing or distributing marijuana weighing less than an ounce would be considered a fourth-degree offense, 但如果CDS是海洛因或可卡因, quantities of less than half an ounce may result in a third-degree offense. 与大麻, these charges will only result in a first-degree charge if the quantity is more than 25 pounds, 但是海洛因或可卡因, manufacturing or distributing more than five ounces would be enough for a first-degree offense.
