What is the penalty for possession of 200-400 grams (PG4)?

• A. First Degree Felony
• B. Second Degree Felony
• C. Third Degree Felony
• D. Misdemeanor

Answer: (B)

The main idea is how penalties are determined by both the substance’s penalty group and the amount possessed. For a substance in Penalty Group 4, possessing between 200 and 400 grams places the offense at the Second Degree Felony level. That means the offender faces a prison term typically in the range of about 2 to 20 years and a fine up to $10,000, with possible enhancements based on circumstances or prior offenses. The other options describe higher or lower levels of punishment, but 200–400 grams for a PG4 substance is specifically within the Second Degree Felony range.
