California Health and Safety Code Section 11351

Your freedom and future are at stake.

California Health and Safety Code Section 11351

Under this statute, possession of a controlled substance, with intent to distribute, is a felony. Although this section deals with the same controlled substances as California Health and Safety Code Section 11350, this statute differs in that it requires both possession and intent to distribute, to be convicted. As stated earlier, a person who possesses a controlled substance for personal use can very easily be charged with violating this statute, which is a far more grave offense. Further, defendants facing this charge are ineligible for the PC 1000 or Prop 36 diversion programs.
