Federal Drug Trafficking Penalties

In simple drug possession cases involving small quantities of certain controlled substances, federal prosecutors and district attorneys may offer plea agreements in exchange for reduced charges and/or lighter penalties. Drug offenses of this kind are much more complex than possession cases because they involve large quantities of drugs trafficked that enhances the severity of potential penalties. Drug crime cases are generally charged as a felony offense punishable by lengthy prison terms and substantial fines.
