Drug Trafficking/Distribution & Manufacturing

Drug Trafficking/Distribution
Drug trafficking/distribution laws penalize the selling, transportation, and illegal import into the United States of unlawful controlled substances such as marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, LSD, "club drugs," and heroin. Federal and state drug trafficking/distribution laws and punishments vary according to drug type, amount, geographic area of distribution, and whether minors were sold to or targeted. Drug trafficking/distribution laws can implicate a single individual or a broad ring of people involved in organized illegal drug activity.
 
Drug Manufacturing and Cultivation
Drug cultivation and manufacturing laws make it a crime 1) to grow, produce, and possess certain plants and other naturally occurring elements used in the production of unlawful controlled substances, such as cannabis seeds and marijuana plants; or 2) to produce illegal controlled substances like cocaine, methamphetamine, LSD, and Ecstasy (MDMA), which require use of certain chemicals and laboratory equipment in their production. Federal and state drug cultivation laws vary according to drug type and the amount produced.

For example, during a legal search of Dan's apartment, police find cannabis seeds, high-powered lamps, and remnants of marijuana plants. Dan can be charged with violating drug cultivation and manufacturing laws.
