The prosecution of a federal offense in relation to drugs will vary with consideration as to whether the crime consisted of simple possession, possession with intent to distribute, sale, trafficking, manufacturing controlled substances, or cultivation. Â Law enforcement primarily prosecutes marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and ecstasy. Â Federal drug crimes also include any action involving narcotic drugs or medications for which an individual lacks an appropriate prescription (if any at all). Â Examples of these drugs are Vicodin, Xanax, and Oxycodone.
Many factors are considered for the prosecution of federal drug crimes, including the action and type of drug, as well as the quantity of the drug involved, the criminal background of the defendant, and the involvement of minors. If you or someone you know is facing these serious charges, you need an experienced criminal defense attorney on your side as soon as possible.
