Gabriel Antonio Blanco-Lobo (Blanco) appeals his guilty-plea conviction and sentence for possession with intent to distribute more than 100 kilograms but less than 1,000 kilograms of marijuana. For the first time on appeal, Blanco contends that 21 U.S.C. § 841(a) and (b) are facially unconstitutional under Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 120 S.Ct. 2348, 147 L.Ed.2d 435 (2000), because drug type and quantity are elements of the offense that must be presented to the trier of fact. As Blanco acknowledges, this argument is foreclosed by this court’s precedent. See United States v. Slaughter, 238 F.3d 580, 582 (5th Cir. 2000).

AFFIRMED.
