The Penalties for Drug Manufacturing

Georgia has several laws prohibiting the manufacture of controlled substances. The laws concern offenses involving specific types of drugs. They also address and penalize crimes committed in certain locations.

The punishments a court may dole out for a drug manufacturing conviction depend on the type and amount of the substance and the defendant's criminal history.

Manufacturing methamphetamine or amphetamine is penalized as follows:

  • Less than 200 grams:
    • At least 10 years' imprisonment and
    • $200,000 in fines
  • 200 grams or more but less than 400 grams:
    • At least 15 years' imprisonment and
    • $300,000 in fines
  • 400 grams or more:
    • At least 25 years' imprisonment and
    • $1 million in fines

Manufacturing a Schedule I or II drug carries the following penalties:

  • First offense: Between 5 and 30 years in prison
  • Second offense: Between 10 and 40 years in prison

Manufacturing a Schedule III, IV, or V drug, marijuana, or a counterfeit controlled substance may result in:

  • Between 1 and 10 years in prison

Drug Manufacturing in Prohibited Areas

If the manufacturing offense occurred on, in, or within 1,000 feet of a specific location, the alleged offender could face enhanced penalties.

Prohibited areas include:

  • Public or private elementary and secondary schools
  • Parks, playgrounds, or recreation centers
  • Housing projects
  • Drug-free commercial zones

Anyone convicted may face the following punishments:

  • First offense:
    • Up to 20 years in prison and/or
    • Up to $20,000 in fines
  • Second offense:
    • Between 5 and 40 years in prison and/or
    • Up to $40,000 in fines

It's important to note that the penalties are imposed in addition to those meted out for drug manufacturing. For instance, suppose a person is convicted of manufacturing methamphetamine near a school. In this case, they may be imprisoned for a minimum of 10 years for producing the drug and then be required to spend an additional 20 years (if given the maximum sentence) behind bars for engaging in the conduct in a prohibited location.
