Lesson Overview

14.04 – State vs. Federal Drug Laws: State laws handle most local drug crimes, but federal laws take over when drugs cross borders or involve large quantities. State penalties can vary depending on the type of drug and where it happens. For example, possession might be a misdemeanor in one state but a felony in another. Federal law is stricter and often adds longer prison sentences. When both state and federal laws apply, the feds usually have the final say. This means one case can become two sets of charges. Federal court also moves faster and has tougher sentencing guidelines. People charged under federal law often face mandatory prison time. The difference matters because it affects your rights, options, and outcomes. Knowing which system applies helps people understand why drug crimes are taken so seriously across all levels of government.
