NDPS small quantity / commercial quantity

Quantity thresholds defined in the schedules to India's NDPS Act 1985 that determine the severity of criminal charge and applicable mandatory minimum sentences. Example thresholds: morphine 5 g (small) / 250 g (commercial); cocaine 2 g / 100 g; cannabis 1,000 g / 20,000 g. FSL quantification of drug content (not gross exhibit weight) is used to determine which threshold applies.
