Drug possession- Willfully and knowingly possessing a controlled substance is a violation of both Georgia state and Federal laws. In addition to possessing a drug, in some cases it is illegal to possess substances or products which can be used to manufacture or cultivate drugs. Depending upon the amount of drugs a person has when arrested, he or she may be charged with simple possession (small amount of narcotics) or with more serious charges if it is believed the drugs were to be sold or distributed.
Drug possession with intent to distribute- Possessing a large amount of a controlled substance may result in a charge of possession with intent to sell/distribute. Even if the person possessing the substance has no intention of selling or distributing, they are many times charged with intent to sell anyway. This is a very serious charge and carries with it harsh punishments if convicted.
Drug trafficking- Every year countless people use automobile, ships, airplanes, and other modes of transportation to bring narcotics into the United States, which is known as drug trafficking. Drug trafficking is also a statewide and nationwide crime, meaning that it does not have to originate in a foreign country to be considered drug trafficking. Cocaine, Heroin, Methamphetamines, and Marijuana are drugs which are heavily trafficked in the U.S.
