Note that it is a crime simply to possess illicit drugs in every state (even though some states permit the cultivation, sale, and possession of cannabis), all states charge the distribution of drugs much more severely. The term distribution can direct to trafficking large amounts of drugs across state lines or national borders, transporting drugs from a safe house to the point of sale, or selling directly to buyers. In New Jersey, as in other states, you can even be charged with drug distribution simply for your intent. For instance, the evidence used against you as proof of intent to distribute can include a digital scale, large amounts of baggies, lists of retail distributors (“street-level dealers”), or other evidence.
