Florida Statute § 893.135 Amphetamine or Methamphetamine Minimum Mandatory Sentences

The stakes become higher when 28 grams are alleged and proven by admissible evidence to a jury and/or sentencing judge in Florida State Courts. A 15 year minimum prison sentence is possible at 200 grams.
The United States Code also provides harsh sentences for trafficking in this controlled substance. At 50 grams a life sentence is possible for certain defendants.See 21 USC §§ 841(a), 841(b)(1)(A); § 2D1.1 for more information.
