8.3 Significance of Quantitative Estimation of Heroin Narcotic Drugs on the Legal Aspect

The quantitative's legal weight: the offence's grading (the quantity-based sentences — the small-vs-commercial quantities' regimes; the drug court's-and-prosecution's charging); the Nepal Act's quantity tiers (the possession's-and-trafficking's scales — the Act's schedules); the purity's questions (the cutting agents — the pure-drug-equivalent debates); the penalty's proportionality (the quantity's mitigation-and-aggravation). The exam's line: the qualitative establishes the crime's kind; the quantitative the punishment's degree — the lab's report drives the sentence.
