Possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance is a very serious crime. Depending on the drug it could be a felony or a misdemeanor. 

First, the Commonwealth must prove that you possessed the contraband. That means that you asserted some dominion or control over the item, and did so knowingly and intentionally. 

Secondly, they must show that you intended to sell or give it to another person. This can be shown if the drugs are individually wrapped; if a scale is found nearby; or, if there is a large amount of cash.
