Xanax Distribution Charge
Prescription drugs are highly regulated in New Jersey. For example, if you are arrested with one Xanax pill without a valid prescription you will face criminal charges that carry significant fines and the possibility of jail. The situation is particularly serious if you are accused of selling, distributing or possessing Xanax with the intent to distribute the drug. Distribution is an indictable crime of the fourth degree where four or fewer dosage units are involved, a third degree crime for at least five but less than 100 pills and a second degree crime where 100 or more doses are sold. These grades of offense carry a state prison term of 18 months, 5 years and 5-10 years, respectively.
Xanax Possession Offense
The consequences of a conviction for possessing Xanax are not much lighter than those previously described. Unless you are talking about failure to keep the drug in its prescribed container or fewer than five pills, possession of Xanax with a valid prescription is a felony crime. A conviction results in many of the penalties set forth above. In addition, you are subject to a mandatory driver’s license suspension of at least six months and as much as 24 months at the time of sentencing.
