Transport

It shall be unlawful, and therefore a violation of this code, to knowingly transport any Controlled Substance, Alcohol, or Tobacco Product that was illegally produced under this code.

Sale

It shall be unlawful, and therefore a violation of this code, to knowingly sell any Controlled Substance, Alcohol, or Tobacco Product that was illegally produced OR to sell these products without a license.

Facilities and entities operating to produce or sell controlled substances, alcohol, or tobacco products shall be subject to facility and operating inspections for compliance with or without notice.

Note that the raw Tobacco plant, or the farm in which they might be produced, is not included within this code.

If a given substance is reasonably suspected of being illegally manufactured, the item may be seized even if no person is charged with an offence (such as when they were unaware of the illegality of the substance).

Federal Charge

Felony

Sentence - 500 seconds

Fine - $1,000 - $100,000 as assessed by a Judge, else the minimum fine amount stands.

IMPORTANT

Based on the section being charged, a prison sentence may not be possible.

For example, if an individual person is caught knowingly transporting illegal goods, then they may be imprisoned.

If an entity or business is found to violating one of the required operating criteria, the business itself cannot be arrested, and therefore would only be levied a fine. (Realism, typically businesses are fined for breaking rules)
