DRUG DISTRIBUTION LAWS IN UTAH

Drug distribution charges in Utah apply broadly and don't only target big-time drug dealers. Utah's laws regarding drug distribution treat both individuals who purchase a small surplus to share with a friend and those engaged in regular buying and selling for profit equally. You can be charged with drug distribution even if you only shared drugs with one of your friends and used together. Something as small as this can mean the difference between getting charged with simple possession and drug distribution, and the disparities in how each is punished is extremely significant. It is crucial to have the guidance of an experienced criminal attorney.

According to Utah Code Section 58-37-8, it is prohibited for any individual to intentionally and knowingly engage in the distribution of a controlled or counterfeit substance, or to participate in, consent to, offer, or organize the distribution of such substances. Additionally, it is unlawful for any individual to possess with the intent to distribute such substances.
