Plea conviction and sentencing of defendant for distributing cocaine, crack, and marijuana are affirmed where trial court correctly denied defendant's motion to withdraw his plea on the grounds that plea was involuntary due to his excessive consumption of prescription drugs, lack of sleep, familial coercion, and a history of bipolar disorder.
