Aggravated Drug Trafficking; include dosage units.

HB 143 amends Mississippi's drug trafficking law to include "dosage units" as a measurement standard alongside weight for sentencing. It defines a "dosage unit" as a pill, capsule, or 1 milliliter of liquid (with special rules for LSD), requiring prosecutors to use either weight or dosage units to determine penalties. This directly affects individuals convicted of drug trafficking by altering how prosecutors categorize the amount of drugs involved - e.g., a small quantity of pills might be measured in dosage units instead of grams. The bill updates existing penalty tiers for Schedule I-V drugs (like opioids, marijuana, and synthetic cannabinoids) to reference both metrics, ensuring sentences align with the drug's form. The measure was introduced but died in committee in February 2025.
