What Are Drug Charges Bail Bonds?
A plain-English breakdown of the three most common drug charges in California and what pushes bail from a misdemeanor amount into felony territory.
Simple Possession: Health & Safety Code §11350
HS §11350 is the primary statute for simple possession of a controlled substance for personal use. It's generally a misdemeanor, and bail is usually set straight off the county schedule.
Possession For Sale: Health & Safety Code §11351
HS §11351 applies when police believe drugs were possessed with intent to sell rather than for personal use — based on quantity, packaging, or other evidence. This is a straight felony, not a wobbler, and carries 2, 3, or 4 years in county jail.
Sale or Transport: Health & Safety Code §11352
HS §11352 covers the actual sale, transport, or furnishing of certain narcotics. It's the most serious of the three — a felony carrying 3 to 5 years, or up to 9 years if the transport crossed non-contiguous counties.
Diversion Can Change Everything
Simple possession under HS §11350 is often eligible for drug diversion programs (Penal Code §1000 or Prop 36), which can avoid a conviction entirely. Possession-for-sale under HS §11351 is generally NOT eligible for diversion — this is one reason the exact charge filed matters so much for bail and for the case itself.
What A Drug Bail Bond Costs
| Total Bail | Standard 10% Premium | 1% Down | Remaining Financed Balance |
|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | $500 | $50 | $450 |
| $15,000 | $1,500 | $150 | $1,350 |
| $30,000 | $3,000 | $300 | $2,700 |
| $50,000 | $5,000 | $500 | $4,500 |
| $100,000 | $10,000 | $1,000 | $9,000 |
1% down is a qualification-based tier, not an advertised gimmick. The full 10% premium is set by California law and is still owed. Possession-for-sale and sale/transport filings, and any prior drug felony, typically move a case to a 3%, 5%, or 10% tier.

3% Down

Notes: Common on HS §11352 sale/transport filings. Payment plan structured over 6–12 months.

Cosigner Requirements & Qualification
Underwriting
Cases At A Higher Tier
These factors move a drug case out of the 1% tier. They don't make the bond impossible — they change the down payment.
Possession For Sale (§11351)
Straight felony, not a wobbler — quantity, packaging, or scales found on scene typically drive this filing.
Sale or Transport (§11352)
The most serious of the three drug charges — felony, higher bail, and enhanced penalties for cross-county transport.
Large Quantity / Trafficking Allegation
Enhancements under HS §11370.4 for extreme quantities add mandatory consecutive prison time and push bail significantly higher.
Prior FTA Or Bond Forfeiture
A history of missing court is the single biggest underwriting red flag on any bond.
No Cosigner Or No Local Ties
Out-of-state defendant, no verifiable income, no cosigner available.
