Possession of MDMA In Pennsylvania

  2. Was not licensed to possess MDMA

Delivery Of MDMA Or Intent To Deliver MDMA In Pennsylvania

If the police find a higher amount of MDMA than what they would consider typical for personal use, prosecutors may bring possession with intent to deliver charges. Drug trafficking charges are considered more serious than possession charges.

This is a felony-level offense that may lead to 15 years in jail and a fine of up to $250,000. The penalties for a second offense are frequently worse.

Specifically, if someone possesses 15 to 30 grams of MDMA, he or she would be facing up to five years for the first conviction and up to 10 years for a second conviction. If the accused is found to possess with intent to distribute 30 to 300 grams of MDMA, he or she would be facing up to 10 years for the first conviction and up to 20 years for a second conviction. If someone is found to possess with intent to distribute 300 grams or more of MDMA, he or she would be facing up to 15 years for the first conviction and up to 30 years for a second conviction.
