In North Carolina, what people call “possession of meth with intent to distribute” is charged as possession with intent to sell or deliver methamphetamine — PWISD for short. It falls under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 90-95(a)(1), and it’s a Class H felony. But the single fact that changes everything is weight. At 28 grams, the […]
In North Carolina, there is no separate crime called “trafficking a Schedule VI controlled substance.” Schedule VI is simply the state’s classification for marijuana, hashish, and THC. The only one of those with its own trafficking law is marijuana. It’s charged under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 90-95(h) based on weight, not on the schedule number. […]
In North Carolina, cocaine trafficking has almost nothing to do with selling. It’s about weight. If the State says you had 28 grams or more of cocaine, or any mixture containing cocaine, you can be charged with “trafficking.” That’s true even if you never sold, moved, or handed anything to anyone.

The charge holds […]
A drug trafficking charge in North Carolina gets dismissed when the State can’t lawfully prove one of the pieces it needs to convict you — not because you talk a prosecutor into believing you’re innocent. That distinction is the whole game, and most people searching this question have it backward.
In North Carolina, “possession with intent to distribute” is charged as possession with intent to sell or deliver — often shortened to PWISD. It is a felony under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 90-95(a)(1). The critical thing to understand is that the State does not have to prove you sold anything to anyone; it only has […]
The use of narcotics-detection dogs, commonly referred to as K-9 units, is a staple of law enforcement activity across North Carolina.
