Possession with intent to deliver charges may be faced by a person who is found in possession of certain banned substances and where the prosecutions is of the opinion that the amount of the banned substance is not suitable to be categorized under “personal use.”
It is not easy to prove the intent since it is a subjective matter. The accused is still likely to face the penalties even if the intent to distribute or deliver is not proved. If the defendant is charged for simple possession, the charges they may face might be considerably low than if the intent to distribute is proven.
