(15) If (A) the offense involved the cultivation of marihuana on state or federal land or while trespassing on tribal or private land; and (B) the defendant receives an adjustment under 3B1.1 (Aggravating Role), increase by 2levels. Then add the converted drug weights to determine the combined converted drug weight (subject to the cap, if any, applicable to the combined amounts). Any person who violates this subsection (b) shall be guilty of a Class 3 felony, In order to comply with the relevant statute, the court should determine the appropriate total punishment and divide the sentence on the judgment form between the sentence attributable to the underlying drug offense and the sentence attributable to 21 U.S.C. The federal statute sets a maximum penalty for each crime. Historical Note:Effective November 1, 1987. Tables for making the necessary conversions are provided below. Historical Note: Effective November 1, 1987. Guidelines for the imposition, duration, and conditions of supervised release are set forth in Chapter Five, Part D (Supervised Release). For certain types of controlled substances, the converted drug weights assigned in the Drug Conversion Tables are capped at specified amounts (e.g., the combined converted weight of all Schedule V controlled substances shall not exceed 2.49 kilograms of converted drug weight). (2) If the defendant had no participation in the underlying controlled substance offense other than allowing use of the premises, the offense level shall be 4 levels less than the offense level from 2D1.1 applicable to the underlying controlled substance offense, but not greater than level 26. Amended effective November 1, 1992 (amendment 447); November 1, 1995 (amendment 520); November 1, 1997 (amendment 558); November 1, 2000 (amendment 605); November 1, 2001 (amendment 626); November 1, 2004 (amendment 667); November 1, 2010 (amendment 746). 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). 841(d)(1). The base offense level for each chemical is calculated separately and the chemical with the higher base offense level is used. Substantial Risk of Harm Associated with the Manufacture of Amphetamine and Methamphetamine.. As a result, the punishment can be harsher if the defendant pleads or is found guilty, particularly if the defendant was involved in gang activity or organized crime. Plant.For purposes of the guidelines, a plant is an organism having leaves and a readily observable root formation (e.g., a marihuana cutting having roots, a rootball, or root hairs is a marihuana plant). Drug possession laws generally fall into one of two main categories: Simple possession (for personal use); and Possession with intent to distribute. (21 U.S.C. The total therefore converts to 23.142 kilograms of converted drug weight, which has an offense level of 16 in the Drug Quantity Table. (ii) The manner in which hazardous or toxic substances were disposed, and the likelihood of release into the environment of hazardous or toxic substances. (1) If a victim was killed under circumstances that would constitute murder under 18 U.S.C. Under U.S. federal law, it is a crime to distribute illegal drugs, which are referred to legally as controlled substances. Where necessary, this scheme has been modified in response to specific congressional directives to the Commission. For example, in the Drug Conversion Tables set forth in this Note, 1 gram of a substance containing oxymorphone, a Schedule I opiate, converts to 5kilograms of converted drug weight. 19. The Commission collects, analyzes, and disseminates a broad array of information on federal crime and sentencing practices. In each case, convert each of the drugs to its converted drug weight, add the quantities, and look up the total in the Drug Quantity Table to obtain the combined offense level. (iii) The defendant is convicted of selling 80 grams of cocaine (Level 14) and 2grams of cocaine base (Level 12). In a case involving such a conviction but in which only part of the relevant offense conduct directly involved a protected location or an underage or pregnant individual, subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2) may result in different offense levels. 1. (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. (A) Controlled Substances Not Referenced in Drug Quantity Table.The Commission has used the sentences provided in, and equivalences derived from, the statute (21 U.S.C. (2) If the defendant was convicted under 21 U.S.C. 960(b)(1), (b)(2), or (b)(3), and the offense of conviction establishes that death or serious bodily injury resulted from the use of the substance; or, (3) 30, if the defendant is convicted under 21 U.S.C.

(D) Cocaine base, for the purposes of this guideline, means crack. Crack is the street name for a form of cocaine base, usually prepared by processing cocaine hydrochloride and sodium bicarbonate, and usually appearing in a lumpy, rocklike form. 843(b). 2D1.11. In this case, the base offense level would be level 36. The offense level for P2P is determined by using 2D1.1 (P2P is listed in the Drug Conversion Table under Cocaine and Other Schedule I and II Stimulants (and their immediate precursors)). At least 6,000 KG but less than 18,000 KG of Hashish; Application of Subsection (b)(16)..

The Typical Weight Per Unit Table, prepared from information provided by the Drug Enforcement Administration, displays the typical weight per dose, pill, or capsule for certain controlled substances. (1) If (A) subsection (d)(2) does not apply; and (B) the defendant committed, or attempted to commit, a sexual offense against another individual by distributing, with or without that individual's knowledge, a controlled substance to that individual, an adjustment under 3A1.1(b)(1) shall apply. 3. 1285 0 obj

(B) Determining the Base Offense Level for Offenses involving Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, or Phenylpropanolamine.If the offense involves two or more chemicals each of which is set forth in the Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, and Phenylpropanolamine Quantity Table, (i) aggregate the quantities of all such chemicals, and (ii) determine the base offense level corresponding to the aggregate quantity. In the case of a controlled substance that is not specifically referenced in the Drug Quantity Table, determine the base offense level as follows: (i) Use the Drug Conversion Tables to find the converted drug weight of the controlled substance involved in the offense. Historical Note: Effective November 1, 1987. Penalties for these charges can range from one year in prison to no more than 50 years, depending on the quantity found. The Court noted that before 2010, there were three crack offenses relevant to the case here. Statutory Provisions: 21 U.S.C.
