Are You Facing Drug-Related Charges in Atlantic Country?
In New Jersey law, controlled substances are treated equally but penalties may differ depending on how much you are distributing. For distributing less than one ounce of marijuana, offenders will face fourth-degree charges. Distributing other controlled substances such as cocaine will bring about third-degree charges if less than one-half ounce is involved while second-degree charges apply if more than one-half but less than 5 ounces had been distributed. The most serious charge applies when 5 ounces or more of a CDS had been distributed, which carries first-degree offense allegations.
Offenders will face a minimum sentence ranging from $10,000 and jail time of up to 18 months for fourth-degree offenses; $15,000 and jail time of up to five years for third-degree offenses; $150,000 fine and jail time up to 10 years for second-degree offenses and up to $200,000 fine with jail time of up to 20 years for first-degree charges. However, it’s imperative to know that mandatory minimum requirements may lengthen these penalties for drug distribution offenders.
