A: more info needed.

record? courtroom? DA? judge? formal or summary probation?

and then the facts showing the intent would have to be analyzed.

you need to make an appointment with a local criminal lawyer or ask for a public defender at your arraignment.

what you are doing is akin to asking a doctor via internet if you will need surgery or survive a surgery for the xyz symptoms........

A: It depends on the probation you received for the 1st conviction and what you are currently charged with allegedly intending to sell . If heroin, meth or coke, you're going to do significant jail time. https://johnkaraslaw.com/practice-areas/drug-crimes/

Instead of going the Public Defender route, hire a skilled and experienced drug offense attorney to see if you have 1 or more potential defenses to keep you out of jail.
