United States federal law strictly prohibits the manufacture, distribution, and possession with the intent to manufacture or distribute an array of controlled substances, including cocaine, cocaine base, methamphetamine, heroin, ecstasy, PCP, LSD, and marijuana. Additionally, utilizing one's home or telephone to facilitate a federal drug-related offense can lead to prosecution. Violations of federal drug laws come with severe consequences, often involving mandatory minimum sentences of 5, 10, or 20 years of imprisonment, depending on the quantity of narcotics involved and the defendant's criminal history. Certain federal drug crimes may even result in life imprisonment. The United States Sentencing Guidelines play a significant role in determining the severity of the punishment, taking into account factors such as the type and quantity of narcotics and the defendant's criminal history. Notably, many federal drug law violations create a presumption that the defendant should be held without bail while awaiting trial, often leading to the seizure of property, cash, vehicles, and the freezing of bank accounts.

Federal agents, often collaborating with local law enforcement, conduct thorough investigations into federal drug crimes, frequently utilizing informants, surveillance, and wiretaps. These investigations can span several months and may involve pre-indictment arrests, where individuals are subsequently released before facing formal charges at a later date.
