Drug trafficking/distribution laws penalize the selling, transportation, and illegal import into the United States of unlawful controlled substances such as marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, "club drugs," and heroin. Federal and state drug trafficking/distribution laws and punishments vary according to drug type, amount, geographic area of distribution, and whether minors were sold to or targeted.
There are four major offenses when it comes to drugs: distribution, possession with the intent to distribute, the manufacturing of drugs, and drug possession. Apart from drug possession, all of these charges fall under the same statute. When the total weight of the substance is anything greater than a gram of cocaine or an ounce of marijuana it can be considered "intent to distribute". In order to prosecute, the State must prove that the defendant had intent to distribute and show circumstantial evidence as well as the weight of the drug, along with other evidences such as the presence of baggies, drug packaging, recorded conversations and witness testimony.
If you are being charged with Drug trafficking/distribution, retaining an experience drug trafficking defense lawyer is very important.
