After reading the penalties on importation we now go to a more serious part of the dangerous drugs act; one that hits home harder than importation.
1.) Dangerous Drugs
Life imprisonment and a fine of Php500,000 to 10 million for the trading, administration, delivery, distribution, dispensation or transportation of dangerous drugs for any purpose whatsoever, unless authorized by law.
2.) Controlled Precursor and Essential Chemical
Imprisonment of 12 years and 1 day to 20 years and a fine of Php100,000 to 500,000 for the trading, distribution, dispensation, delivery, administration or transportation of controlled precursors and essential chemicals, unless authorized by law.
3. Schools
If the trading, administration, delivery, distribution or transportation of dangerous drugs or controlled precursors and essential chemicals takes place within 100 meters of a school, the maximum penalty appropriate, whether it's a dangerous drug or a controlled precursor and essential chemical, will be imposed.
4.) Minors and Mentally Incapacitated and Death Due to the Material in Question
The maximum penalty will be imposed on pushers who use minors or mentally incapacitated persons as runners, couriers or messengers or in any other capacity that is directly connected to the trading, administration, dispensation, delivery, distribution or transportation of dangerous drugs or controlled precursors and essential chemical. The same penalty will apply if the victim is a minor or mentally incapacitated person.
It will also be the same penalty if the person died as a direct result of the administration, delivery, trading, distribution, dispensation or transportation -without authorization by law- of dangerous drugs or controlled precursors and essential chemicals.
5.) Financiers
The maximum penalty also applies in case of financiers.
Protectors/coddlers get imprisonment of 12 years and 1 day to 20 years and a fine of Php100,000 to 500,000.
