New Jersey drug crimes lawyer Adam M. Lustberg (https://www.lustberglaw.com/blog/drug-trafficking-laws-new-jersey/) releases a new article explaining the drug trafficking laws in NJ. The lawyer mentions that drug trafficking crimes involve the creation and/or distribution of banned drugs or controlled substances that were obtained illegally. These charges are very serious crimes and often carry severe penalties.
“Drug trafficking is defined as the illegal sale, manufacture or creation, transport, movement, and/or distribution of any substance that is either illegal to own or was illegally acquired. Drug trafficking crimes usually involve much more than simply handling an illegal substance from point A to point B. It often involves a large scheme on a national or international scale with millions of dollars of sales generated,” the New Jersey drug crimes lawyer says.
The lawyer explains that the most commonly trafficked drugs in the United States include cocaine, heroin, PCP, LSD, Methamphetamines (Meth), and marijuana. A special federal group calls the Drug Enforcement Administration investigates crimes involving drug trafficking. This type of crime is also on a much larger scale and results in thousands of affected Americans gaining access to illegal substances.
Attorney Adam M. Lustberg adds that if a person is caught by the DEA and convicted, the penalties can be severe. Drug trafficking is considered a very serious crime and usually earns a first-degree felony charge. If there are other drug crimes involved, the penalties can be much more severe.
In the article, attorney Lustberg adds, “It is important to note that prison is only part of the punishment when it comes to a drug trafficking conviction, which can also result in heavy fines depending on how much of the drug and what kind of drug was involved. A person can also lose many civil rights and federal benefits temporarily or permanently depending on whether or not this is a first-time scenario.”
Lastly, attorney Adam emphasizes the importance of having a skilled lawyer when facing drug charges. Having an experienced criminal defense lawyer may be able to help the client understand their rights and protect their freedom.
