This section shall not apply to any person who has been convicted of the sale or distribution of a controlled dangerous substance or possession with the intent to sell any controlled dangerous substance except:
(1)  Marihuana, where the total sold, distributed or possessed with intent to sell was 25 grams or less, or
(2)  Hashish, where the total amount sold, distributed or possessed with intent to sell was 5 grams or less.
