If drug trafficking was the purpose
If the offender is found with drugs having an
intent to conduct drug trafficking, its a
serious offence. You can get away with a minimum
penalty if you only had the drugs for personal
use but not when you plan to distribute it to
public.

If its for an organized crime
If possession of drugs has anything related to an
organized crime, the penalties will be severe.
Drugs can be used for committing large scale
organized crimes. If there is a link found, the
seriousness of the drug possession charge will be
really high.

If the accused misused authority or position
If the person accused of the drug possession
charge was in an influential position or had
authority that he misused to get the possession
of drugs. Its the matter of breaking the trust
that state has shown in him. This is a serious
offence and will have aggravated penalties and
consequences.

If youth or children are involved

the drug possession crime, it is also a very
serious crime. Its considered to be a serious
crime because the accused has involved minors and
