Who said trafficking? What I've seen is that carrying controlled substances- any amount- over the border can result in smuggling charges.
And what if the substance you're caught with is a narcotic painkiller, to which you'd developed a dependency as a result of wear and tear of your employment? Sad truth is, if what I've read he was caught with is true and he was indeed addicted, there's a very real chance he actually "needed" to have them with him. Opiates are a whole different beast, and I've seen too many people struggle.
We don't know the details and I think speculation in these cases, without new and verified facts, has no positive effect.
