About Drug Trafficking

Under the federal sentencing guidelines, a drug trafficking offense is defined as "an offense under federal, state, or local law that prohibits the manufacture, import, export, distribution, or dispensing of a controlled substance (or a counterfeit substance) or the possession of a controlled substance (or a counterfeit substance) with intent to manufacture, import, export, distribute, or dispense." U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1),

Drug trafficking can be one of the more serious of all drug-related charges depending on the amount and type of drug being trafficked.  Because it can involve crossing of state and national lines and large amounts of drugs the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation), DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) or other federal agencies may become involved in the investigation and prosecution of these offenses - classifying them as federal crimes.  Penalties for these crimes are harsh, with very large fines, forfeiture of property and imprisonment.
