No minimum amount of drugs is required to be charged with this crime. A prosecutor does not have to prove that it was a traceable or specifically usable quantity of a prohibited narcotic. The amount of the drug in question does not need to be sufficient to produce a stimulating or depressing effect on the nervous system. There is no need for a sale to take place. While a sale is certainly considered a “distribution,” you don`t have to exchange money to be convicted of this crime.

CDS stands for Controlled Dangerous Substance. It is illegal to be in possession of CNS drugs. There is a federal law that governs U.S. drug policy.
That act is the Controlled Substances Act. (CSA) It is illegal to distribute a controlled hazardous substance (CDS) in Oklahoma. The official definition of “distribution of a CNS” is “deliver a controlled hazardous substance other than by administering or distributing a controlled hazardous substance.” “Deliver” or “Deliver” means the actual, constructive or attempted transfer of a CDS from one person to another. This applies regardless of whether or not an agency relationship exists. Many narcotics, synthetic steroids, tranquilizers and stimulants produced for legitimate medical use are being abused and have therefore been placed under legal control. The term “controlled substance” refers to drugs planned by the state that are illegally possessed or that are illegal without a prescription. Some of the most common controlled substances that people are stopped for possession are: distribution of a CDS in, on or within 2,000 feet of property that includes a public or private elementary or secondary school, public vocational school, public or private college or university, or other college, a recreation center or public park, The inclusion of state parks and recreation areas, social housing projects or daycares significantly increases the penalty. Depending on the situation, the prison sentence for distribution does not double or triple in the vicinity of these places. If you are caught in possession of any of the above drugs, you can expect a variety of criminal penalties, including jail time, heavy fines, and more. You should also note that if you are charged with possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance, you will consider additional jail or jail time, as well as higher fines. Our law firm is here to protect you from these allegations at every turn.

An “imitation controlled substance” is a substance that is not a controlled hazardous substance (CNS) that, by the appearance of the dosage unit, colour, shape, size, marks or representations made, would lead a reasonable person to believe that the substance is a CNS.

Substance or possession of C.D.S. This section prohibits a person from possessing or administering a controlled hazardous substance to another person unless the substance was acquired for a legally permissible reason, such as an order or order from a licensed vendor acting in the course of a professional practice. Article 5-601 pursues any attempt to obtain a C.D.S.
or the administration of a C.D.S. to obtain or attempt to further criminalize by various means and methods of deception.
