There are several different types of federal drug charges, including the production, distribution, and possession of illegal drugs. A person can be convicted for making an illegal drug if they own or cultivate any components required to manufacturer the substance. Additionally, someone may face allegations of distribution they engage in the sale or conveyance of an unlawful drug.
Possession is another offense that someone may receive in various situations. For instance, a person may receive charges for drug possession even if the substance is not physically with them at the time of their arrest.
