Second offense for someone over 18 distributing drugs to someone under 21 is ten years. So you have a 20-year-old undercover cop. Shows up at a college party. Asks for a hit from Suzie who is also 20. She obliges. 15 minutes later he asks again and she passes it. Two offenses. Is Suzie in the Federal Prison for 10 years? Or am I missing something?
