Drug Trafficking Laws in Georgia

Trafficking involves a range of activities, from importing drugs from another country, smuggling them through border crossings, sales and distribution. If the alleged crime took place entirely within our state, you will most likely be charged under Georgia Code § 16-13-30 (2012), which makes it a felony with a penalty of up to 30 years in state prison, of which 5 must be served without parole. In the event that you are accused of trafficking drugs across state or international borders, you will likely be charged with a federal crime. Federal trafficking penalties range up to life in prison, with fines that can reach as high as $75 million in the worst cases.
