Re: meth
There are not enough facts to answer your question. The sentence will depend on prior offenses and other factors, but in general this would probably be a second degree controlled substance offense, possibly a first degree offense. If there is a prior conviction, the statute calls for a mandatory sentence of 3 or 4 years, depending on whether the charge is a first or second degree controlled substance conviction.
You will find the relevant statutes at Minnesota Statutes chapter 152. If there is a charge pending you should immediately contact an attorney, since the consequences for meth possession and sale can be severe -- even on a first offense.
