Drug trafficking charges can be filed against an individual who is caught in possession of a large quantity of drugs, even if there is no evidence that they were selling or distributing the drugs. In some cases, drug trafficking charges may be filed against an individual who is caught in possession of a smaller quantity of drugs if there is evidence that they were involved in the sale or distribution of drugs.
