Drug Trafficking, international or domestic, is illegal and can result in severe punishment. The punishment usually depends on the kind of substance or “schedule” of the substance. Schedule I drugs are heroin, hallucinogens, marijuana, and ecstasy. These drugs tier higher than schedule II because they have no medicinal purposes and are highly potent. The punishment also depends on the amount of the substance you have as well as the choice of substance. Other influences are your criminal history, country of origin, and any other “aggravating” factors such as the use of weapons or assault. These kinds of factors can influence the kind of drug trafficking charges you receive.
