Increases penalty for crime of manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing certain Schedule I and II controlled dangerous substances.

This bill increases penalties for manufacturing, distributing, or dispensing certain Schedule I and II controlled substances in New Jersey. It raises the severity of offenses based on drug quantity - for example, heroin or cocaine analogs in 5 ounces or more become a first-degree crime (with mandatory minimum prison time), while smaller amounts face lower-degree charges. Key changes include stricter sentencing ranges (requiring one-third to one-half of the sentence to be served without parole eligibility) and higher fines, up to $500,000 for first-degree offenses. The bill directly affects individuals involved in distributing these drugs, including heroin, methamphetamine, LSD, PCP, and marijuana (with specific quantity thresholds for marijuana offenses).
