4th Degree Controlled Substance – Possession

There are 2 different ways to be charged with 4th degree controlled substance – Possession

Hallucinogen – (Minn. Stat. § 152.024 Subd. 2(1))

The possession of at least 10 dosage units of hallucinogen is a 4th degree controlled substance crime.

 Possess with intent to sell – (Minn. Stat. § 154.024 Subd. 2(2))

Possession with the intent to sell is an anomaly in Minnesota’s drug laws. Everywhere else there is a sharp distinction between sales and possession. But the legislature made a bizarre decision to merge the two under this subdivision.
