The federal government has specific laws and severe penalties for those convicted of a federal drug violation.  Government and local law enforcement agencies are determined to reduce drug-related crime, drug use and punish those who are repeat offenders, drug dealers or drug lords. The federal government has statutes set in place which classify controlled substances under “schedules,” or categories. The drugs that are listed in these categories are called Controlled Dangerous Substances (CDSs).  The drugs are added, deleted or rescheduled on the list by the United States Attorney General.

Federal Drug Crimes Penalties in California

Penalties for a federal drug crime are very severe and are based on the quantity, classification and purpose of the drug in your possession. You can receive even more severe penalties if the drug violation involves selling or delivering drugs to minors, having minors distribute the drugs, or if the drugs are sold or distributed on school property. If convicted in the state of California of a federal drug violation, you could be looking at the following penalties:

  • Up to lifetime imprisonment
  • Possible death penalty
  • Severe fines
  • Long-term probation
  • Mandatory drug rehabilitation
  • Drug counseling
  • Community service
  • Lifetime revocation of driver’s license
