Federal Drug Trafficking
More serious penalties will be enforced when the federal government gets involved in a trafficking case.

A federal trafficking conviction can result in at least 10 years to life in jail and a $10 million fine for a first offense.

Punishments for Drug Trafficking
Drug trafficking covers many offenses including the act of transporting, selling, furnishing, administering, selling, or distributing illegal substances. Such a crime is a felony punishable by up to 5 years in prison and upwards of $10,000 in fines.
Any of the following circumstances can enhance the penalties:
- If the offender has a prior criminal record
- If there are minors involved
- Transporting controlled substances in restricted areas such as a school
- The amount and types of drugs involved
To be convicted of drug trafficking, the prosecution must prove that the drugs were in a person’s possession with the intent to sell or distribute them rather than for personal consumption. In addition to jail time, an offender can face heavy fines, asset forfeiture and registration as a narcotics offender. Repeat offenders will receive even longer prison sentences for additional drug convictions.
