this reason, you need to do all you can to retain the right attorney to
uphold your rights.
Punishments depend on the substance and quantity you are accused of trafficking:
-
Cocaine: 10 years in prison for 28 to 200 grams; 15 years for 200 to 400 grams
-
Morphine/opium: 5 years in prison for 4 to 14 grams; 10 years for 14 to 18 grams
-
Marijuana: 5 years in prison for trafficking 10 to 2,000 pounds
-
Amphetamine: 10 years in prison for 28 to 200 grams; 15 years for 200 to 400 grams
You could also incur federal authorities in your case if you are accused
of trafficking drugs across state lines. Federal trafficking charges carry
even harsher penalties, so retain our Atlanta drug crime lawyer to advise
you as soon as you can.
