What is the penalty for manufacturing or delivering 20-80 units (PG1A)?

• A. State Jail Felony
• B. 3rd Degree Felony
• C. 2nd Degree Felony
• D. 1st Degree Felony

Answer: (C)

The key idea is how quantity and penalty group determine the felony level for drug offenses. For penalty group 1-A substances, manufacturing or delivering an amount in the range of twenty to eighty units is classified as a second-degree felony. That places it above lighter offenses like state jail or some lower felonies, but below the most serious category, which would apply if the amount exceeded eighty units. In practical terms, a second-degree felony typically carries a prison term of about two to twenty years (and a potential fine up to $10,000). If the amount were smaller than twenty units, the offense would be a lower level, and if it were larger than eighty units, it would escalate to a first-degree felony.
