Supplying amphetamines to someone else, including your friends, can get you up to 14 years in prison or an unlimited fine or both.
When amphetamines are prepared for injection they become a Class A and can get you tougher sentencing if you're caught with it or selling it. Possession of a Class A can get you up to seven years in jail or an unlimited fine or both. Supplying a Class A to someone else, including your friends, could lead to life imprisonment or an unlimited fine or both.
