Federal vs. State Drug Selling Laws
Each state has its own drug sales or trafficking laws. The state laws generally apply when the drug sale occurs in that state. However, federal laws can apply when the drug sale occurs on federal land, such as in D.C. or on a military base, or if any part of the drug sale involved activity crossing state or international borders.
If you or someone close to you has been charged with a crime related to drug dealing, you should consult with a qualified criminal defense attorney in your area.
