Drug charges may be Federal offenses, usually when state lines are crossed or in the case of international crimes. A simple possession charge will likely not be a Federal offense, but an interstate drug trafficking charge will be. Federal crimes are complex and difficult to defend; a lawyer who understands Federal court procedures is a necessity if you are charged with any type of Federal crime.
