The main forms of drug crimes are:

• Possession: Simply having an illegal narcotic or substance on your person or in property you control is a crime. It may be a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on the substance or quantity in question. You can also be charged with possession with intent if investigators have reason to believe you were not possessing a narcotic just for your personal use.
• Sale or distribution: If you distribute an illegal narcotic through any means, it will constitute a serious drug crime that will likely constitute a felony. Depending on the details, the crime could even be charged as drug trafficking, which may gain the attention of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
• Manufacturing: Creating, growing, or cultivating an illegal substance is known as the crime of drug manufacturing.
