Drug distribution is comparable to trafficking in that the intent is to sell the drugs for a profit. The difference is that the operations are on a much smaller scale, with smaller quantities of substances. In the U.S., it is illegal to distribute drugs such as marijuana, cocaine, heroin, PCP, Ecstasy, LSD, steroids, and morphine. Due to a continual increase in drug crimes, the U.S. has adopted strict legislation to ban drug crimes, including distribution.

manufacturing. We have an intimate knowledge of drug laws and have successfully protected the rights of our clients countless times again against prosecutors' attempts to take away their liberties.
