The following excerpt is from People v. Meza, 38 Cal.App.4th 1741, 45 Cal.Rptr.2d 844 (Cal. App. 1995):
The same is true where, as here, defendants were convicted of knowingly and intentionally possessing for sale and transporting a large quantity of cocaine as part of a sophisticated drug trafficking operation. "Through their involvement in the illegal transaction, defendants assumed the risk of enhanced penalties if the government could show" their crimes involved more than 20 kilograms of cocaine. (United States v. Normandeau, supra, 800 F.2d at p. 956.)
