I beg to differ, SF. 1.5 pounds is certainly enough for possession with intent to distribute. From an unpublished appellate court decision "the jury could rationally infer that anyone possessing 250 grams of heroin of 65 to 72% purity possessed it with the intent to distribute." In the United States, at least, amount alone is sufficient to establish intent to distribute. I don't know what the requirement for trafficking are.
