Drug Sentencing

What sentences courts gave for drug offences, by drug, amount and importation, worked out from the published sentencing remarks.

Amount and sentence

Each dot is one case: the amount of drug (log scale) against the head sentence. Cases with no weight given aren't shown here but are in the tables.

Typical sentences by drug and amount

The drug, amount and importation details are read automatically from the remarks and checked by our staff, but mistakes are possible. Sentences depend on far more than the amount: the offender's role, plea, record and personal circumstances. Read the remarks themselves before relying on any case. This is not legal advice.
