WHAT IS DRUG TRAFFICKING?

Drug trafficking is generally used to describe manufacturing, moving, and selling illegal drugs in mass quantities. This is not the only definition of the crime, however. In some situations, drug trafficking can be synonymous with drug distribution, meaning the charge can be filed against you for manufacturing, moving, trading, or selling any amount of drugs illegally.

Drug trafficking charges can also originate from drug possession situations, depending on the evidence found at the time of your arrest. For example, if the police find a large quantity of marijuana in your apartment, and it was all organized deliberately, you could be charged with drug trafficking despite there being no evidence of the substance being moved or sold.

 

PENALTIES FOR DRUG DEALING CRIMES IN NEW JERSEY

It can be difficult to anticipate the penalties you might face if convicted of drug trafficking. This is due to the fact that the charge can escalate based on a number of factors.

Drug trafficking charges can raise – from a misdemeanor to a felony, for example – based on:

  • Substance: Certain illegal substances can be charged at a higher crime rate than others.
  • Amount: Trafficking a larger quantity of a substance will be penalized more harshly than trafficking a smaller quantity of the same substance.
  • Location: Some drug crime charges can escalate depending on the location of your arrest. For instance, if you were near a schoolyard, your charge could increase.
  • Relations: You might face additional criminal charges if you are arrested for drug trafficking and investigators believe you may have a connection to a known criminal syndicate or a gang.
