Drug possession laws generally fall into one of two main categories: Simple possession (for personal use); and; Possession with intent to distribute. Title 21 U.S.C. In this example, the amount delivered more accurately reflects the scale of the offense.

Statutory Provisions: 21 U.S.C. Subsection (b)(12) implements the directive to the Commission in section 6(2) of Public Law 111220. 841, 960, 962, and 46 U.S.C.

The enhancement also applies to offenses that are referenced to 2D1.1; see 2D1.2(a)(1) and (2), 2D1.5(a)(1), 2D1.6, 2D1.7(b)(1), 2D1.8, 2D1.11(c)(1), and 2D1.12(c)(1). 860a or 865.

Under federal law, in order to be convicted of possession with intent to distribute, all three of the following legal elements must be satisfied: Illegal drug For example, an upward departure may be warranted in cases involving MDPV, a substance of which a lesser quantity is usually needed to produce an effect on the central nervous system similar to the effect produced by a typical synthetic cathinone. (D) Departure Based on Potency of Synthetic Cathinones.In addition to providing converted drug weights for specific controlled substances and groups of substances, the Drug Conversion Tables provide converted drug weights for certain classes of controlled substances, such as synthetic cathinones. Thus, the approach decided upon by the Commission will harmonize offense levels for LSD offenses with those for other controlled substances and avoid an undue influence of varied carrier weight on the applicable offense level. If the resulting offense level is less than level 30, increase to level 30. In such a case, an upward departure would be warranted. For example, subsection (a)(2) would not apply to a defendant who possessed a dangerous weapon in connection with the offense, a defendant who guarded the cache of controlled substances, a defendant who arranged for the use of the premises for the purpose of facilitating a drug transaction, a defendant who allowed the use of more than one premises, a defendant who made telephone calls to facilitate the underlying controlled substance offense, or a defendant who otherwise assisted in the commission of the underlying controlled substance offense. (6) If the defendant meets the criteria set forth in subdivisions (1)-(5) of subsection (a) of 5C1.2 (Limitation on Applicability of Statutory Minimum Sentences in Certain Cases), decrease by 2 levels.

The Court noted that before 2010, there were three crack offenses relevant to the case here. 9. (B) Combining Differing Controlled Substances.The Drug Conversion Tables also provide a means for combining differing controlled substances to obtain a single offense level. For example, if the defendant, as part of the same course of conduct or common scheme or plan, sold 5 grams of heroin near a protected location and 10 grams of heroin elsewhere, the offense level from subsection (a)(1) would be level 14 (2 plus the offense level for the sale of 5 grams of heroin, the amount sold near the protected location); the offense level from subsection (a)(2) would be level 15 (1 plus the offense level for the sale of 15 grams of heroin, the total amount of heroin involved in the offense). See1B1.1 (Application Instructions), Application Note 4(A). 848 establishes that a defendant controlled and exercised authority over one of the most serious types of ongoing criminal activity, this guideline provides a minimum base offense level of 38.

At least 30,000,000 units but less than 90,000,000 units of Ketamine; The enhancement should be applied if the weapon was present, unless it is clearly improbable that the weapon was connected with the offense. 21a-277 (a) and (b) 8.1-2 Sale or Possession with Intent to Sell a Controlled Substance by a Non-Drug-Dependent Person -- Sec. For example, P2P (an immediate precursor) and methylamine (a listed chemical) are used together to produce methamphetamine. 2D1.11.

See 5K1.1 (Substantial Assistance to Authorities). The base offense level for each chemical is calculated separately and the chemical with the higher base offense level is used. 2D1.13. (iii) Use the offense level that corresponds to the converted drug weight determined above as the base offense level for the controlled substance involved in the offense. (B) Upward Departure Provision.If the defendant committed a sexual offense against more than one individual, an upward departure would be warranted. ________________________ (B) Interaction of Subsections (b)(1) and (b)(2).The enhancements in subsections (b)(1) and (b)(2) may be applied cumulatively (added together), as is generally the case when two or more specific offense characteristics each apply.

As large quantities are normally associated with high purities, this factor is particularly relevant where smaller quantities are involved. 3553(f) provides an exception to the applicability of mandatory minimum sentences in certain cases. In such a case, a departure may be warranted. For example, a defendant agrees to sell 500 grams of cocaine, the transaction is completed by the delivery of the controlled substance actually 480 grams of cocaine, and no further delivery is scheduled. The base offense levels at levels 24 and 30 establish guideline ranges such that the statutory minimum falls within the range; e.g., level 30 ranges from 97 to 121 months, where the statutory minimum term is ten years or 120 months. 5.
