Drug Trafficking

Drug trafficking is closely related to drug distribution and attempted sales. Laws pertaining to drug trafficking carry penalties for the sale, distribution, transportation and importation of illegal drugs (including marijuana) in the United States.

Punishments for trafficking are based on several factors, including but not limited to the:

• Drug type
• Amount of the illegal substance
• Geographical area of distribution
• Target market, particularly if minors were targeted

Laws that control drug trafficking can implicate anyone from a single individual to an organized body of illegal drug activity. Drug traffic laws in California prohibit the sale and distribution of illegal drugs, rendering the transport, importation or sale of drugs a felony. An individual may incur a drug trafficking charge if he or she is found to have aided, abetted or conspired with anyone to traffic controlled substances.

Drug trafficking and their corresponding penalties differ from case-to-case. Therefore it is best to hire a skilled drug crimes attorney if you ever find yourself in such a situation.
