What Are the Penalties for Drug Trafficking in California?
California takes a harsh stance against drug trafficking. If you are convicted of drug trafficking, you could be facing serious penalties. The type of penalties you face will depend on the type of drug you trafficked, the amount of the drug you trafficked, and the specific circumstances of your case. For example, trafficking marijuana for personal use may be charged as an infraction, while trafficking heroin or cocaine may be charged as a felony.
The penalties for drug trafficking depend on the severity of your crime and can include jail time of 3-9 years and a fine of up to $20,000.
What Is Considered Drug Trafficking in California?
Under California law, you can be charged with drug trafficking if you are accused of knowingly selling, transporting, importing, or exporting a controlled substance. You can also be charged with drug trafficking if you are accused of being in control of a vehicle, aircraft, vessel, or other vehicle and you know that the vehicle contains a controlled substance.
In order to prove that you knowingly trafficked drugs, the prosecutor must prove that you knew the drugs were in your possession and that you knew the drugs were illegal.
What Types of Drugs Are Considered Controlled Substances?
Under California law, there are five categories of controlled substances. These categories include depressants, stimulants, narcotics, hallucinogens, and other dangerous drugs. Examples of controlled substances include:
- Opioids,
- Stimulants,
- Depressants,
- Narcotics,
- Hallucinogens,
- Other dangerous drugs.
The penalties for drug trafficking can vary depending on the type of drug involved. For example, trafficking certain narcotics, such as heroin, can result in a felony charge. On the other hand, trafficking certain depressants, such as prescription painkillers, may be charged as an infraction.
