What is the trafficking threshold for MDMA (ecstasy)?

• A. Over 1 kilogram.
• B. Over 100 grams.
• C. Over 10 grams.
• D. Over 50 grams.

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that the trafficking threshold is the minimum weight that elevates a crime from possession to trafficking with harsher penalties. For MDMA (ecstasy), the threshold is set at more than 1 kilogram. So when the amount found or possessed exceeds 1,000 grams, the offense is charged as trafficking rather than simple possession or smaller-scale distribution. This weight-based rule helps prosecutors distinguish large-scale distribution from personal use and shapes the severity of the charges. The other listed weights are below that cutoff, which is why they wouldn’t meet the trafficking threshold in this context.
