A quick definition of drug trafficking:
Drug trafficking is when people illegally transport or sell drugs that are not allowed. It is against the law to make, give, or sell drugs that are not allowed. This is a serious crime and people who do it can go to jail for a long time. Different states have their own laws about drug trafficking, but it is always illegal.
A more thorough explanation:
Drug trafficking is when someone illegally transports or sells controlled substances. This is against the law in the United States. Federal law, Title 21, Section 841, makes it illegal for anyone to knowingly or intentionally "manufacture, distribute, or dispense, or possess with intent to manufacture, distribute, or dispense, a controlled substance." States can also make drug trafficking illegal.
For example, in California, it is against the law to transport, sell, give away, or offer to transport any controlled substance. If someone breaks this law, they can be punished by going to jail.
Drug trafficking is a serious crime because it can harm people's health and safety. When people sell drugs illegally, they can't be sure what's in them or how they were made. This can lead to dangerous situations for people who use drugs.
