Jeff mentioned in this prior post that S.L. 2011-12 created three new drug trafficking crimes—trafficking in MDPV, mephedrone, and synthetic cannabinoids. I have incorporated those new crimes (effective for offenses committed on or after June 1, 2011) into my tabular summary of the drug trafficking law, available here. The front page of the chart includes a brief summary of the sentencing rules for trafficking (including conspiracies and attempts), and a recap of the law on substantial assistance.
Just saw this case, State v. Johnson, in the most recent batch

Where a guy who got schedule III opiates for pain for his diabetes from the VA and sold a bottle of them to a CI for $350.00 and got sentenced to 37 years. Talk about drug policy gone bananas. Does anyone really thing this guy is so dangerous we need to pay for him to be housed for 37 years! Yikes!
