What is the possession penalty for 400 grams or more (PG2)?

• A. 5-99 years and up to $50,000
• B. 10-99 years and up to $100,000
• C. Life imprisonment
• D. Class A Misdemeanor

Answer: (A)

When a possession charge involves a Penalty Group 2 substance at 400 grams or more, it falls into the highest level for that group, a first-degree felony. That level carries a prison range of 5 to 99 years and a fine up to $50,000. The large quantity triggers this most serious category, which is why the correct penalty is 5-99 years with up to $50,000. Other options would correspond to different offense levels or groups (such as life imprisonment or misdemeanors) and don’t match the threshold and penalties for 400 grams or more of PG2.
