To be found guilty of distribution or trafficking drugs, you do not need to handle, purchase, or sell the drugs involved. Simply being a catalyst or a facilitator of a deal is adequate proof to convict an offender. Colorado categorizes drug distribution offense and trafficking as being of major risk, sentences for these crimes are greater and convictions can produce extensive periods of imprisonment. If you had a prior felony drug conviction or a firearm was at hand during the process, those charges represent a class 2 felony.
