California Penal Code 2002:
Health & Safety Code § 11012:
"Distribute" means to deliver other than by administering or dispensing a controlled substance.
If you have been arrested and a certain amount of drugs are found on your person even if there is no proof that you have been distributing or even have an intent to distribute, you may still be charged with a drug distribution charge and multiple offenses, even if they involve small quantities of drugs, could trigger extremely harsh minimum sentences.
With more and more mandatory sentencing provisions being enacted all the time (and much harsher for drugs like crack cocaine and methamphetamines) if you have been charged with an intent to distribute it is imperative that you are made aware immediately about the potential risks associated with these charges.
Since these cases typically move through the criminal justice system very quickly, you will want to know your rights immediately or they could be lost or seriously compromised if you do not exercise them immediately.
If you have or someone you know may
be facing drug crime charges, please do not hesitate to call Rizio

take the necessary steps to assist in your defense.
