Possession for Sale

Orange County Drug Possession Attorney

Possession for sale is a serious drug crime that involves being in possession of an illegal drug or prescription drug with the intent to sell or distribute the substance. In California, drug possession for sale is a felony offense that is punishable by up to 2, 3 or 4 years in state prison. Although a defendant typically cannot be prosecuted for multiple offenses that occur during the same incident, possession for sale may be an exception to the rule. If the prosecution can prove that you intended to make multiple separate sales, or that you had multiple different kinds of narcotics in your possession with the intent to sell these, you may be at risk of facing multiple offenses and convictions.
