What Is Drug Trafficking?
When people are arrested for allegedly possessing a significant quantity of drugs, it is not unusual for prosecutors to try to bring drug trafficking charges. This is especially true if you are suspected of crossing state lines, such as between south Georgia and north Florida. However, being in possession of a large amount of drugs does not necessarily mean you were trafficking or even intending to distribute a controlled substance.
In Georgia, drug trafficking is defined as knowingly being in actual or constructive possession of certain Schedule I or Schedule II controlled substances at certain quantities as specified in the law. Whether you purchase, sell, manufacture, deliver or bring the drugs into Georgia, that can result in felony drug charges. Drugs commonly associated with trafficking include:
- Cocaine
- Fentanyl
- Hydrocodone
- Cannabis
- Heroin
- Methamphetamine
- Oxycodone
- MDMA
- GHB
The penalties for a drug trafficking conviction are harsh. Don’t let the prosecution’s efforts go unchallenged.
