Transportation for Sale (HS 11352):

In order to be convicted under statute HS 11352, the prosecutor must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you either: engaged in transporting, importing, selling, administering or giving away drugs in California, that you knew the drug was in your presence and that it is an illegal substance, and that there was enough of the controlled substance present in order to be used as a drug. If the prosecutor cannot prove these factors beyond a reasonable doubt, then you will not be convicted of selling or transporting a controlled substance.

 Penalties (HS 11352):

It is a felony to sell or transport a controlled substance under Health and Safety code 11352. If convicted of selling or transporting a controlled substance, you may face up to 5 to 6 years in state prison, with fines up to $20,000. If you are an immigrant, deportation is very likely. Depending on the circumstances of each case, sentencing will be heightened depending on the amount of controlled substances in possession for sale or transportation.
