What’s the difference between sale & delivery of Meth and sale of a controlled substance? / AVVO / Michael A. Haber, Esq. **ARRESTED / **305DUI

In both events the elements are identical, but the penalties may be higher (especially if you reach a trafficking quantity) in the case of methamphetamine (it only takes 14 grams to reach the trafficking threshold and trigger both minimum mandatory penalties and a 1st degree – as opposed to the 3rd degree – felony…. the difference being facing 30 vs. 5 years).

My advise: While Avvo (and similar sites) are wonderful sources of generic information there is no substitute for an in person face-to-face consultation with a criminal defense practicioner. It is critical to bear in mind that each case, and each Defendant, is /are different, and as every case is also a fluid experience, there is only so much that any lawyer can tell you about your case on-line. In addition, either a lack of specificity in the written / typed question or confusion in the wording of the question, will likely further hamper the ability of any prudent responding attorney to provide both accurate and sage advise. You should get into a 407 area criminal defense lawyer’s office asap.

I hope that this has been helpful and wish you the best of luck!
