In State v. Sorge, 249 N.J. Super. 144, 148, 591 A.2d 1382 (Law Div.1991) the defendants were charged with distribution of clean hypodermic needles to intravenous drug users. In denying the defendant's request to dismiss the charges as de minimis, Judge D'Italia concluded that the State has a zero tolerance drug policy which "refuses to treat as trivial the possession of even the most minuscule amounts of a controlled dangerous substance." Id. at 149, 591 A.2d 1382. State policy makes it clear that "the unlawful use, manufacture and distribution of controlled dangerous substances continues to pose a serious and pervasive threat to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of this State."
