Selling drugs can result either in misdemeanor or felony charges, depending on the kind of drugs involved, the amount of drugs and money at issue, where the drugs were sold or offered for sale (for example, at a school), and the persons to whom the drugs were sold or offered for sale (for example, to individuals under 18 years of age).

You can be convicted for illegally transporting drugs even if you did not intend to sell or distribute them, but only wanted them for your personal use. You can be convicted of transportation of illegal drugs simply by walking or riding a bike a short distance. However, a defendant convicted of transporting a controlled substance for personal use may be entitled to be sentenced to probation with drug treatment. If you are charged with attempting to distribute large amounts of illegal drugs, you may face very lengthy periods of incarceration in a state prison or federal penitentiary, in addition to paying large fines.
