Many people are surprised to discover that even a small amount of drugs can create very large legal problems in Virginia, because there is no specific amount of drugs that qualifies as a case of possession with intent to distribute. The police can charge the people who are present with possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance based on the circumstances and the evidence at the scene such as cash, baggies, packaging and/or scales.
