The severity of the offense is predicated on the type of CDS involved and the quantity. It is a first degree crime to distribution 100 milligrams or more of LSD, 5 ounces or more of cocaine, heroin or MDMA (a.k.a. Molly or Ecstasy) or 25 pounds or more of marijuana. It is a second degree crime to distribute 100 or more dosage units of Xanax, Oxycodone, Hydrocodone, Vicodin, Valium, Percocet or another prescription drug, at least one half ounce but less than 5 ounces of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine or MDMA, less than 100 milligrams of LSD, at least 5 pounds but less than 25 pounds of marijuana or 1 ounce or more of mushrooms. It is a third degree crime to sell, distribute or be in possession with intent to distribute of 5-99 dosage units of a prescription drug, less than one half ounce of heroin, MDMA, methamphetamine or cocaine, at least an ounce but less than 5 pounds of marijuana or less than 1 ounce of mushrooms. It is a fourth degree crime to engage in distribution of less than an ounce of marijuana, less than 5 grams of hashish or less than 5 dosage units of a prescription legend drug.

All distribution cases are indictable in nature (i.e. crime of the fourth degree, third degree, second degree or first degree) so they are outside the authority of the Monmouth County Prosecutor’s Office. A conviction for fourth degree distribution results in a $10,000 fine and up to 18 months of imprisonment. A second degree crime for distributing/selling cocaine, heroin, LSD, Molly, mushrooms or methamphetamine is $75,000 ($200,000 for distribution of prescription drugs like suboxone or adderall) and the prison term is 5-10 years. A first degree crime for distribution of CDS/drugs triggers a fine of up to $500,000 and 10-20 years in prison. Please note that these penalties are enhanced when distribution takes place in a school zone in violation of 2C:35-7 (i.e. within 1,000 feet of school property) or in a public park zone under 2C:35-7.1 (i.e. within 500 feet of a public park or housing project).
