The period of incarceration is 5-10 years for a second degree crime for distributing drugs (e.g. distribution of less than 100 milligrams of LSD). Third degree distribution or possession with intent to distribute (i.e. less than a half ounce of cocaine or heroin) can land you in prison for 3-5 years in state prison. The lowest form of case is fourth degree cds distribution and it results in up to 18 months of imprisonment (e.g. case involving less than one ounce of marijuana or 5 grams of hashish).
