    State and Federal Drug and Narcotics Offenses
    If you are arrested for a drug or narcotics crime, there are two factors that can determine the seriousness of controlled substance cases and drug offense cases and whether they will be investigated and prosecuted by state or federal law enforcement drug and narcotics prosecutors and investigators:

    The type kind and amount of illegal drugs or narcotics involved in your arrest.

  • the amount of pounds, grams, or ounces of the drug or narcotic found in possession can make a difference in whether you are charged with straight possession or possession of illegal drugs or narcotics for sale.

  • Whether you have a prior criminal record for drugs or narcotics convictions and arrests.
  • The number of times you've been to prison and the reasons for any past illegal drug or narcotics arrests or convictions.
  • If your drug or narcotics arrest involves simple use or drug narcotics possession (small amounts), it is likely your case will not be investigated or prosecuted by federal narcotics investigators and prosecutors. Your case will most likely be investigated and prosecuted by local New York law enforcement investigators and county or state prosecutors.

    Understanding State and Federal Sentence and Penalties (see Rockefeller Drug Laws and mandatory minimum information).

    Punishment and penalties imposed for drug offense cases generally depends on:

  • the quantity of the narcotic or drug.
  • the classification of the narcotic or drug under the schedules.
  • the purpose of the narcotic or drug possession.

  • So what is PWID?
    PWID stand for possession with the intent to distribute and is considered a serious crime. PWID drug offense cases include the following:

  • the defendant possessed a controlled substance.
  • the defendant did so knowingly and intentionally.
  • the defendant possessed the controlled substance and had the specific intent to distribute it, which means to transfer or attempt to transfer to another person.
  • the defendant had said amount of the controlled substance
  • Prosecutors can prove your intent to distribute drugs just by showing the quantity of the drug, without any evidence that you actually distributed the drug.

    Some states have more harsh penalties for drug crimes where minors (a minor is anyone under 21 years old) are involved. For example, more severe punishment is imposed if:

  • minors are used to distribute the narcotics or drugs
  • the drugs are delivered or sold to minors
  • the drugs are sold or distributed on school property.
