How Does Arizona Define Transportation of Drugs?

If law enforcement officers found illegal drugs in your home, on your person, in your vehicle, or at another location under your control, they will analyze the substance and measure its quantity. If they find more than would be reasonably assumed for personal use, you will be charged with transportation with the intent to sell.

Legal Thresholds for Common Drugs

  • Methamphetamine: 9 grams
  • Powdered Cocaine: 9 grams
  • Rock Cocaine: 3/4 of a gram
  • Heroin: 1 gram
  • LSD: 1/2 millimeter or 50 dosage units
  • PCP: 4 grams or 50 milliliters
  • Marijuana: More than 2 pounds

Frequently Asked Questions

Drug transportation convictions carry heavy penalties, including substantial prison time even when quantities don’t meet the threshold for intent to sell. If amounts are above the threshold, you could face even longer in state prison. The quality and experience of your defense lawyer is critical in these high-stakes cases.

Yes. An experienced attorney can challenge the evidence, question the legality of the search, or negotiate reduced charges. Factors such as the amount of drugs, your criminal history, and the circumstances of the arrest all play a role in potential outcomes.

Possession involves knowingly having drugs in your control. Transportation involves moving drugs from one location to another, often with the presumed intent to sell. Transportation charges typically carry heavier penalties than simple possession.
