The possession, sale or trafficking cocaine is a felony crime in most states. When it comes to North Carolina, this is a Class I felony. This is punishable by up to a year in jail.

POSSESSION

Possession of cocaine is a Class I felony, which can incur six (6) to 12 months of imprisonment. Getting caught with any amount of cocaine is included in this felony. This means the punishment can range from the level stated above.

SELLING

The sale of cocaine is a Class G felony. However, this is increased to a Class E felony if this is happening between a person under 16, or a pregnant female, or within 300 feet of school property.

TRAFFICKING

“Trafficking” includes transporting and importing drugs, or manufacturing them. This is a Class G felony, which comes with a punishment of 35 to 51 months in jail, and even a $50,000 fine. If the amount is between 200 and 400 grams, then the crime is elevated to a Class F felony, which comes with 70 to 93 months of jail time, and a $100,000 time. Unfortunately, cocaine trafficking exceeding 400 grams is considered a Class G felony, which has 175 to 222 months of jail time, and a $250,000 fine.
