Drug Law in Arizona 13-3420
Unlawful substances; threshold amounts
For purposes of determining if the threshold amount is equaled or exceeded in
any single offense or combination of offenses, a percentage of each substance
listed by weight in section 13-3401, or any fraction thereof to its threshold
amount shall be established. The percentages shall be added to determine if
the threshold amount is equaled or exceeded. If the total of the percentages
established equals or exceeds one hundred per cent, the threshold amount is
equaled or exceeded. If the threshold amount is equaled or exceeded because
of the application of this subsection, the person shall be sentenced as if the
combination of unlawful substances consisted entirely of the unlawful
substance of the greatest proportionate amount. If there are equal
proportionate amounts, the person shall be sentenced as if the unlawful
substances consisted entirely of the unlawful substance constituting the
highest class of offense.
