Drug Crimes, Aggravated Drug Charges and variations of drug arrests are made quite often, but not enough to cause alarm. The lifestyle that drugs have created and their prevalence in every major U.S. City takes away the federal impact of being prosecuted by the United States.   Practicing criminal defense you are always behind the curve because more than likely the police have gone into property of a client. The best way to chill these investigations is to shop up at the scene and see for yourself, how many T's were not crossed and how many "i" were not dotted.   indictments for Drug Crimes such as conspiracies to distribute heroin, are what occasionally make those sucking sounds in the city.  Our citizens, occasionally being hailed in, or sucked in, to the very tail end, or the "kitchen help" of the conspiracy to distribute drugs.

New Quick overview of how these work and what you can expect. 
In very short sum, Drug Trafficking and Narcotic Distribution can carry from a just a couple of years to life. Often, the only people exposed to the court system are the much smaller players that are operating or working much further down the distribution and so they are normally hung out to dry. Importantly, why the end of the distribution rings are foreclosed on receiving an other than unfair sentence because they don't have the information to disclose.
In fair size distribution syndicates whose drug case hold many individual drug crimes and charges, the person down the closer to the front line are typically "firewalled" when they switched to different drop cars.

WEIGHT: There is no brightline rule to determine federal versus state.

People will talk about the amount of drugs someone is caught with and say "that is a federal amount. You better hope it doesn't go to 6th and Broadway!" However, it just isn't that simple anymore. The "Federal Weight" seems to be everyday weight, garden variety state weight, anymore. There is nothing fed or state anymore. I've had kilos pass through state court and 3 ounces picked up by the United States. It all depends on what the local law enforcements desires at the time. IT ALSO depend largely on if guns were present and gang affiliation, if someone keeps coming up on radar, the outskirts of a wiretap or local guys prod the federal government to remove the case.  

Generally, your punishment is more harsh in federal court, but that is no longer true.  Enough past felonies and prior traffickings and a fresh Trafficking in a Controlled Substance can enhance up to 70 years.

EVIDENCE 1000 time over!  
I pointed out in the website the importance that the Rules of Evidence play.  Their role and how they interact with the judge/gatekeeper of evidence.   It either comes in or it doesn't.  Drug cases are 95% decided by pretrial maneuvering and curbing of evidence that would or would not be admissible.  

In sum:  
If you cut through all the loose ends then the Criminal Defense Trial for a Drug Possession or Narcotic Possession with Intent to Distribute becomes the ruling on what evidence is going to come into trial. So, the biggest move to keep evidence from flowing is the Motion to Suppress, Fruits of the Poisonous Tree Remedy. You want to make sure you can suppress early enough on into the investigation that it in effects precludes the introduction of any criminal activity. So, Drugs : Narcotics, Drug Notes, Statements, and yourself.  There is no magic to the Defense of a Drug Charge, other than doing what you can do to keep the evidence out.
