A drug trafficking conviction in South Carolina could mean you would spend up to 30 years in prison. It’s important to understand that drug trafficking is only about the number of illegal drugs that allegedly were in your possession. If you were convicted of other drug crimes in the past, it will increase the severity of the penalties that you may be facing now. Working with a criminal defense lawyer to build your drug trafficking defense can potentially positively impact the outcome of your case.
Whether it was marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine, or an illegally gotten prescription drug, you will be charged based upon the amount of weight that South Carolina law enforcement allegedly found to be in your possession. It is important to be mindful of the severity of drug-related charges since they are even a topic of discussion at the Department of Defense.
