Offenses for Methamphetamine Manufacturing
Seven criminal offenses refer to the manufacture of methamphetamines. Six of these make the possession of equipment and substances required to make methamphetamine illegal. Large amounts of these substances will result in a more serious criminal charge. Second degree criminal possession of methamphetamine manufacturing material refers to you having a solvent, chemical reagent, or precursor that you intend to use for the manufacturing of methamphetamine. This is classified as a class A misdemeanor, the most serious class of misdemeanor. The possible penalty includes up to one year in jail. Precursors include salt of an isomer, isomer, salt, pseudoephedrine, and ephedrine. First degree criminal possession of methamphetamine manufacturing material is, for all intents and purposes, the same as the previously mentioned crime. But you'll only face this particular charge if you have a previous conviction of second degree possession of manufacturing material in the previous five years. This is considered a class E felony and carries a potential sentence of up to four years imprisoned. criminal possession of precursors to methamphetamine is a charge that you will face if you possess precursors to methamphetamine in addition to a chemical reagent or solvent, and you intend to use these things for the manufacturing of methamphetamine. This charge is considered a class E felony, and the potential sentence is up to four years imprisoned. Third degree manufacture of methamphetamine charges will be leveled against you if you possess the lab equipment and substances that can be used for the manufacturing of methamphetamine. This is considered a class D felony, and the potential sentence is up to seven years imprisoned. Second degree manufacture of methamphetamine charges are the same as the previous charges, but they involve the activity being done around a child who is less than sixteen years old (provided you are five years or more older than the child). It will also be leveled against you if you commit the offense within five years of being convicted with another methamphetamine-related offense. This is a class C felony whose potential penalties include up to fifteen years imprisoned. First degree manufacture of methamphetamine charges can be leveled against you in the following circumstances: You have been convicted of both third and second degree manufacture of methamphetamine, or you have a prior first degree methamphetamine manufacturing conviction within the past five years.
