Penalties You Will Face If Convicted
North Carolina has mandatory minimum sentencing for drug trafficking. This means that you will automatically be sentenced to a minimum sentence if you are convicted of selling drugs or drug paraphernalia. It will not matter if you have a clean record or did not intend to sell the drugs; you will have to serve the minimum sentence. Federal drug trafficking convictions have the same requirement.
