Federal and New York State Drug Trafficking Laws

The state of New York has multiple categories of drug offenses with penalties of varying degrees of severity. How a drug charge is classified in the state of New York depends on the quantity, purity, the circumstances surrounding the seizure, and the type of narcotic involved. For instance, charges for drugs like heroin and cocaine carry heavier penalties than like offenses involving marijuana. In NY, a person is considered a drug trafficker when he or she meets one of the following criteria:

  • The defendant acts as a director of a controlled substance organization that grosses at least $75,000 in under twelve months.
  • The defendant is caught selling drugs on at least one occasion and the drugs have a value of $75,000 or more.
  • The defendant is caught in possession with intent to sell $75,000 or more worth of narcotics.

Unlike the state of New York’s trafficking law, the federal courts utilize quantity as the sole determining factor as to whether or not the defendant will be charged with drug trafficking.
