Health and Safety Code 11378 HS: Possession for Sale of Methamphetamine

Health and Safety Code 11378 HS: Possession for Sale of Methamphetamine

California Health and Safety Code 11378 criminalizes the possession of methamphetamines with intent to sell. To be more precise, possessing methamphetamines for sale is a crime that carries serious charges according to California’s legal proceedings as stipulated in the Health and Safety Code section 11378. In essence, it encompasses possessing any controlled substance-purportedly stimulant schedule II with the intention or purpose of selling it.

There are other factors that classify even ecstasy, steroids, ketamine, opiates GHB, PCP to fall under this category. While the actual trade of these narcotics may not have happened at the onset, prosecution can arise by conviction on diverse grounds. That includes cash recovered with a definite connection recognized between narcotic drugs and packaging equipment found during investigations after arrest evidence.

5. should have controlled over illicit substance for intent-based purposes.

Charges and Penalties
