The Consequences of a Counterfeit CDS Charge It is hard to overstate the seriousness of possessing or distributing a fake CDS in New Jersey. The state has a specific law, N.J.S.A. 2C:35-11, that makes it a felony to have, attempt to obtain, or distribute any substance that is represented to be a controlled dangerous substance, or that a reasonable person would think is a CDS. A violation of this law can lead to severe penalties, including up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $200,000. Additionally, a mandatory suspension of your driver’s license for six months to two years may also be imposed.

If you find yourself in this situation, you need a knowledgeable and experienced attorney who can help you navigate the complex legal system.

We understand the nuances of the law and can help you build a strong defense to protect your rights and your freedom.

New Jersey Law & Penalties: Possession or Distribution of an Imitation Drug

The state of New Jersey takes drug offenses very seriously. The penalties for possessing or distributing a fake or simulated controlled dangerous substance (CDS) are particularly harsh, given the potential harm to the public that could result from someone attempting to sell or use such substances.

Under N.J.S.A. 2C:35-11, possessing or distributing a simulated CDS is a third-degree crime, punishable by up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $200,000. Additionally, as with any CDS conviction, a mandatory driver’s license suspension of six months to two years may be imposed.

The law provides three scenarios that may constitute evidence of a violation of N.J.S.A. 2C:35-11, including packaging of a substance in a manner that would normally be used for the unlawful distribution of an illegal drug, the attempt or actual distribution of a simulated substance along with a demand for money or consideration, and possessing or distributing a substance whose physical appearance is substantially the same as a form of controlled dangerous substance.

If you are facing charges for possessing or distributing a fake or simulated controlled dangerous substance, it is crucial to work with an experienced attorney who can help you build a strong defense. At Spodek Law Group, our attorneys have the knowledge and experience necessary to navigate the complexities of the legal system and fight for your rights. We understand the seriousness of these charges and the impact they can have on your life, and we are here to help you every step of the way.
