A THC concentrate operation — or what the state decides to call one — lands here: first-degree delivery for quantities that start at a handful of cartridges.
Charge: Manufacture or Delivery of a Controlled Substance, Penalty Group 2 or 2-A, 4–400 grams — Health & Safety Code § 481.113(d)
Level: First-degree felony
Range: 5 – 99 years or life, fine to $10,000
Court: District court in the county of arrest
How these cases play out in Central Texas courts
PG 2 delivery cases inherit every defense from the possession side (whole-mixture weighing, lab identification, hemp-market confusion) and add the delivery fight: intent evidence, informant credibility, operational procedure. The 4-400 gram spread creates the same proportionality arguments as possession — a first-degree charge built on six cartridges and a Venmo history reads very differently to a jury than a warehouse case. Defended outcomes range from suppression dismissals to possession reductions that transform the sentencing landscape.
Questions we hear about this charge
Cartridge sales among friends — first-degree felony, seriously?
The statute allows it; proportionality and intent proof are the counterweights. These cases negotiate down when defended and railroad when they’re not.
Does hemp-product confusion help in delivery cases?
Yes — the state still must prove the substance is PG 2 THC with quantitative analysis, and product-sourcing evidence cuts at knowledge and intent.
What about 2-A (synthetic cannabinoids)?
K2/spice cases share the bracket. Lab identification of ever-changing analogues is the technical battleground — and a genuinely hard one for the state.
