Some might assume that drug trafficking and drug distribution are the same, but they are not. Drug Trafficking is determined by the weight of the drugs and can be easier to prove.

Selling or giving away any amount of drugs is Distribution. This would be the typical charge for someone trying to sell to an undercover cop.  Distribution of drugs is a common but profoundly serious charge.
