What are Drug Sales?

This can be a complex area of law. Drug sales basically mean the offender is exchanging illegal drugs for money. It is closely tied to drug distribution or trafficking. Depending upon the drug, even a small amount alleged to have been in your possession, or several plants growing in your home, can result in charges of possession with the intent to sell, a felony charge.

The crime of drug sales is a felony, but the amount and type of drug will determine how serious the punishment that could be imposed. For example, a felony charge could result in a prison sentence of 6 -12 months with fines up to $2500, or it could go as high as 3 - 10 years in prison and fines up to $20,000. These are general guidelines. They could be enhanced if it is alleged that the sale of drugs occurred near a school.

Drugs that are commonly involved in cases of criminal charges of illegal sales include marijuana, heroin, cocaine, amphetamines, methamphetamine, PCP, LSD, Xanax and Valium, as well as others.
