Federal drug conspiracies can occur when two or more people agree to commit a crime involving drugs. Because such crimes are in federal, rather than state court, the punishment and charges can be more severe. To prove a drug conspiracy, the government must prove three circumstances:

1. An actual agreement was made to break a certain drug law.
2. The defendant was aware of the agreement and had intent to participate.
3. One act in furtherance of the intended conspiracy.

In some cases, circumstantial evidence may be enough. To commit a federal drug conspiracy, you must knowingly or intentionally manufacture, create, or distribute controlled substances. It is also illegal to possess these substances with the intent to manufacture or distribute. Federal drug conspiracy cases can become complicated, as charges may greatly vary. Depending on the quantity of drugs found and who else is involved, you could be facing fines and years in prison.
