What is the paid transfer of drugs?

Obtaining material benefits through drug trafficking is a paid transfer.

1. If drugs are transferred for free, such as giving away drugs, it does not constitute drug trafficking;

2. If it is not transferred, the illegal purchase of drugs for personal use does not constitute the crime of drug trafficking;

3. Paid transfer does not require profit. For example, after detoxification, A transfers his remaining drugs to B at a low price, which constitutes the crime of drug trafficking. The "compensation" in paid transfer can be to obtain money or other material benefits.
