What Is the Difference Between Simple Possession & Possession with Intent to Sell?

The term “sell” means transferring or delivering an item to someone else in exchange for money or something of value. Law enforcement officers may determine if a suspect is attempting to sell drugs simply by being in possession of a certain amount of drugs, carrying large amounts of cash, and/or possessing certain items, such as a weight scale or small baggies.

Possession with intent is generally a felony offense. For instance, possession of cocaine with intent to sell is a second-degree felony, which carries a maximum 15-year prison sentence. Possession of marijuana with intent to sell is a third-degree felony, punishable by a prison term of up to five years.
