In Chapter 34 of the Criminal Code, the term threshold amount refers to a legally defined
quantity of a drug that triggers enhanced criminal penalties for drug-related offenses. When
the amount of drugs involved in an offense equals or exceeds the threshold amount, stricter
sentencing guidelines may apply, as well as limitations on probation, suspension of sentence
or early release from confinement.
