What Is The Definition Of Drug Trafficking?
Drug trafficking may be defined as the illegal cultivation, manufacturing, distribution or sale of controlled substances. These acts are prohibited by state and federal law and are often charged at a federal level if state lines or national borders are crossed, or large quantities of drugs are involved.
The severity of charges and penalties for drug trafficking will depend on the type and amount of drug involved. A first offense for drug trafficking involving any of the following is punishable by 5 to 40 years in prison and a fine of up to $5 million as an individual or $25 million as an organization/group:
- Cocaine (100 to 4,999 grams)
- Cocaine base (28 to 279 grams)
- Fentanyl (40 to 399 grams)
- Heroin (100 to 999 grams)
- LSD (1 to 9 grams)
- Methamphetamine, pure (5 to 49 grams)
- Methamphetamine, mixture (50 to 499 grams)
- PCP, pure (10 to 99 grams)
- PCP, mixture (100 to 999 grams)
A second offense for the above is punishable by 10 years to life in prison and a fine of up to $8 million as an individual and $50 million as an organization/group.
Increased penalties will apply for larger amounts of controlled substances, or for defendants with prior drug trafficking convictions. A conviction for drug trafficking involving 1 kilogram of heroin, for example, is punishable by 10 years to life in prison, plus $10 million in fines for an individual or $50 million for an organization/group. A second offense for the same may be 20 years to life in prison, plus a $20 million fine for an individual or a $75 million fine for an organization/group.
