Federal Sentencing Guidelines - Mandatory Minimum Sentences
Federal Sentencing Guidelines set the penalties for federal drug offenses. The government has imposed mandatory minimum sentences for a drug crime conviction.
Penalties vary depending on the drug schedule. A drug crime involving a Schedule 1 drug such as heroin or methamphetamine (meth) will result in harsher penalties than the same crime involving a lower schedule drug. Schedule 2 drugs include cocaine, codeine, and morphine.
