According to Tennessee law, you commit an offense if you knowingly manufacture a controlled substance or possess a controlled substance with intent to manufacture. The law defines manufacturing as the “production, preparation, propagation, compounding, conversion or processing of a controlled substance, either directly or indirectly by extraction from substances of natural origin or independently by means of chemical synthesis…” (TCA § 39-17-402 and 417).
It is also a criminal offense in Tennessee to knowingly initiate a process intended to result in the manufacture of methamphetamine. It is important that you know that a jury can infer intent to manufacture drugs based upon the amount of a controlled substance found in your possession.
If you are charged with manufacturing methamphetamine you will face a Class B felony conviction. In addition, if the manufacturing occurred near a child, you will face heightened penalties including the possibility of no parole.
You may also face the following:
