The prosecution will often use evidence at the time of the arrest, evidence recovered during a search, confidential informant disclosures, and police sting operations to prove marijuana distribution. If there is justification to obtain a search warrant for your home, police may execute the search warrant in accordance with the warrant and recover items that the support the case against you. Common types of evidence include: the drug itself (often in larger quantities than is consistent with personal use), drug packaging materials, scales and measuring instruments, drug paraphernalia, documents with the names of customers, and significant amounts of cash. In cases involving marijuana cultivation, plants and growing materials may also be used to prove intent to distribute and any companion charges, such as maintaining a controlled substance production facility.
