Drug Manufacturing

Under the crime of drug manufacturing, it is also illegal to possess precursor chemicals with the intent to manufacture illegal drugs with them. In court, it doesn't have to be proven that you actually made the drugs with those chemicals, only that you possessed them for the intent of manufacture.

Lesser amounts of drugs and less dangerous drugs draw less prison time if convicted than larger quantities and more serious drugs. Under federal guidelines, there are mandatory minimum sentences which are not subject to leniency. Those convicted of federal crimes are not eligible for early parole or suspended sentences.
