Heading: Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Distribute

Text: 57 Banda contends the 2.2 pounds of marijuana discovered on his property is not inconsistent with personal use, and the evidence is insufficient to establish an intent to distribute. We disagree. 58 A jury reasonably could conclude 2.2 pounds of marijuana is more than a person would possess for personal use. United States v. Glenn, 667 F.2d 1269, 1272 (9th Cir.1982) (185 grams of marijuana considerably more than associated with personal use). See also Martinez, 967 F.2d at 1345-46. Furthermore, the government presented evidence that it found a triple beam scale, a telephone pager, a loaded weapon and $14,780 in cash at the Chappel Road premises. The 2.2 pounds of marijuana, in conjunction with the other evidence of drug trafficking, are sufficient to demonstrate Banda intended to distribute the marijuana. See United States v. Innie, 7 F.3d 840, 844 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 114 S.Ct. 1567 (1994); Martinez, 967 F.2d at 1345-46. 59 AFFIRMED.
