State and Federal Methamphetamine Trafficking Penalties

According to Arizona law, if you are convicted of transport of sale, import into this state, offer to transport for sale or import into this state, sell, transfer, or offer to sell or transfer methamphetamine, you will be charged with a Class 2 felony. This felony is punishable by a mandatory prison sentence between 5 and 15 years.

However, a person charged with methamphetamine trafficking can be subject to federal penalties as well, depending on the amount of the illegal drug was in their possession upon arrest. If you have been caught with 50 grams of methamphetamine with at least an 80% purity (ice), even a first offense still requires mandatory minimum federal prison sentence not less than 10 years.
