22 read:
23 893.135 Trafficking; mandatory sentences; suspension or
24 reduction of sentences; conspiracy to engage in trafficking.—
25 (1) Except as authorized in this chapter or in chapter 499
26 and notwithstanding the provisions of s. 893.13:

50 For the purpose of this paragraph, a plant, including, but not

58 sex of a plant and the fact that the plant may or may not be a
59 dead harvested plant are not relevant in determining if the

61 under this paragraph. Upon conviction, the court shall impose
62 the longest term of imprisonment provided for in this paragraph.

581 prescription drug and all of the mixtures contain the same
582 controlled substance, and the weight of the controlled substance
583 in each mixture can be identified using the National Drug Code
584 Directory, the weight of the controlled substance is calculated

586 mixture.
587 (7) For the purpose of further clarifying legislative
588 intent, the Legislature finds that the opinion in Hayes v.
589 State, 750 So. 2d 1 (Fla. 1999) does not correctly construe
590 legislative intent. The Legislature finds that the opinions in
591 State v. Hayes, 720 So. 2d 1095 (Fla. 4th DCA 1998) and State v.
592 Baxley, 684 So. 2d 831 (Fla. 5th DCA 1996) correctly construe
593 legislative intent.
