Which pattern indicates PWITS?

• A. A single small quantity for personal use
• B. Quantity too large for personal use and divided into wraps or bags
• C. Any quantity for medical use
• D. Large quantity with no packaging

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that PWITS is shown by evidence of distribution rather than just possession. When someone has more than they would reasonably use personally and it’s divided into wraps or bags, that strongly suggests they’re preparing or selling drugs to others. The small, split units are exactly how street-level supply happens, making it a clear indicator of intent to supply. In contrast, a single small quantity fits personal use, a quantity for medical use would require proper authorization, and a large amount with no packaging could be for manufacturing or storage rather than clear distribution. So the pattern of a quantity too large for personal use and divided into wraps or bags best demonstrates the intent to supply.
