The first is that you need not make any money to be charged with a violation of N.J.S.A.\u00a02C:35-5, New Jersey\u2019s drug distribution statute. A person only needs to dispense a controlled dangerous substance like marijuana, or transfer it to another person to be considered \u201cdistributing.\u201dIn this case, 21-year-old\u00a0Delanco resident\u00a0Robert Lamar was arrested for marijuana distribution and possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. These drug crimes are governed by the same statute, meaning they are subject to the same grading and sentencing guidelines. For example, possession of between 1 ounce and 5 pounds of marijuana with intent to distribute is considered the same offense as actual distribution of the same amount of marijuana. Both are third degree crimes punishable by up to 5 years in prison.You may be wondering, how do police know if I intended to distribute the drug in my possession? Often, law enforcement officials will charge you with\u00a0drug distribution\u00a0based on a larger amount of the substance, as well as drug packaging materials and significant sums of cash. In this case, officers searched Lamar\u2019s home on the 400 block of Delview Lane in Delanco Township, where they reportedly found marijuana, drug distribution packaging materials, and cash. They seized all of these items, as well as a vehicle located at the home.Police searched Lamar\u2019s home after an investigation into the illegal marijuana selling in Delanco reportedly led to him. He was arrested and charged with marijuana distribution, possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, and distribution of\u00a0drug paraphernalia. The amount of marijuana retrieved from Lamar\u2019s residence remains undisclosed, but it will weigh heavily on the potential consequences if he is ultimately convicted.Distribution of marijuana, like any drug in New Jersey, varies in terms of degrees. In other words, you can be charged with anything from a fourth degree to a first degree crime for selling marijuana and the penalties to which you are exposed will depend on the degree of the charges. The amount of the drug (the measured weight) or in the case of marijuana, also the number of plants, are used to determine the degree of crime.\u00a0Regardless, all charges for marijuana distribution are indictable offenses.
