Drug Possession Offense in Point Pleasant Beach
There are many different types of drug possession offense that are filed in Point Pleasant Beach annually. Almost all of these charges stem from N.J.S.A. 2C:35-10. This law provides that “[i]t is unlawful for any person, knowingly or purposely, to obtain, or to possess, actually or constructively, a controlled dangerous substance…unless the substance was obtained directly, or pursuant to a valid prescription…”. When the drug is a Schedule I, II, III or IV cds, possession is a third degree crime. Possessing a Schedule V drug is a fourth degree crime. More than 50 grams of marijuana is also a fourth degree crime. Possessing less is a disorderly persons offense.

A possession offense results in a criminal record, a mandatory driver’s license suspension, fines and exposure to incarceration.
