3.2. Episode "two narcotics over that of the amount of the substance which is equivalent to the number of drugs prescribed in one of the spots from ..." in paragraph 4 to article 193 and DD h paragraph 4 to article 194 CRC shall be calculated as follows: a. the first case.
If the drugs that are prescribed in the same paragraph 4 of Article 193 Article 194, paragraph 4 or that of the combined weight of the Narcotics that together and compare to the weight to be a guide in subsection 3.1 section 3 to consider the offender is sentenced to the penalty level.
Example 1: a 9 kilogram opium resin production and 17 kilograms of cannabis resin. Due to opium and cannabis resin plastics are specified in point a paragraph 4 to article 193, should need the plastic weight plus opium and cannabis resin together with 26 kilograms (9 kg + 17 kg = 26 kg). Compare with weight instructions in subsection 3.1 section 3 must apply to this clause 4 to 193 Thing UPO points sanction death penalty level offenders.
Example 2: a buyer to sell 115 grams and 125 grams Hêrôin Côcain. Due to the Hêrôin and Côcain are both specified in point b paragraph 4 to article 194, Hêrôin and weight Côcain community together by 240 grams (115 grams + 125 grams = 240 grams). Compare with weight instructions in subsection 3.1 section 3 applies to point b of this clause 4 Article 194 to sanction the offender project level 20 years in prison.
b. the second case If the drugs that are prescribed in the various points of the clause 2, clause 3, paragraph 4 Article 193 or at different points of the clause 2, clause 3, paragraph 4 to article 194, the calculation of the total quantity of narcotics is equivalent to the number of one of the drugs prescribed in clause 4 or in paragraph 193 Article 194 Article 4 be conducted according to the following sequence: b. 1. Turn taken as standard every narcotics among the Narcotics that the offender has the production, storage, transport, sale or illegal appropriation. Calculate weight (quantity) of narcotics remains among the Narcotics that the offender has the manufacture, storage, transport, sale or illegal appropriation corresponding to how much kilogram (grams) or mililít of narcotics were retrieved according to weight ratio (the number of) a minimum of narcotics remains with the weight (the amount) minimum of narcotics were retrieved do the standard prescribed in paragraph 4 to article 193 or 194 Article 4 paragraph (see example below).
b. 2. Plus the weight (quantity) of the narcotics was to calculate the equivalent weight (quantity of narcotics were taken as standard shall be the total amount of narcotics offenders have produced, storing, transporting, buying and selling unauthorized or misappropriate (the computer equivalent of narcotics were taken as standard) (see examples below). b. 3. Comparison of the results counted the total number of narcotics that the offender has the manufacture, storage, transport, sale or illegal appropriation of equivalence (as the Narcotics were taken as standard) with each other and with instructions in subsection 3.1 section 3. If the total amount of narcotics is equivalent under the Narcotics that are beneficial to the offender when sentencing, taking the total number (see example below).
For example, a 4-kilograms of opium sales, 90 grams of hêrôin and 150 grams of other narcotics in the solid. How to calculate the total amount of narcotics are as follows:-first: taking drugs do to calculate the 90 grams of hêrôin and 150 grams of other narcotics in the solid equivalent of how many kilograms of opium (measured by the ratio of the minimum weight of opium and hêrôin, of opium and other narcotics in solid prescribed in paragraph 4 to article 194); in particular: * for Hêrôin: 100 grams Hêrôin is equivalent to five kilograms of opium.
90 grams Hêrôin is equivalent to X kilograms of opium.
X = 90 grams x 5 kilogram 100 grams = 4.5 kilogram opium * for other narcotics in solid: 300 grams of other narcotics in solidity equivalent to 5 kilograms of opium.
150 grams of other narcotics in solidity equivalent to Y kilograms of opium.
Y = 150 grams x 5 300 kilograms grams = 2.5 kilogram opium Plus the weight of the Hêrôin and other narcotics in the solid medium can calculate the equivalent weight of opium (X and Y) with actual opium weight is 4.5 kilogram + 2.5 kilogram: + 4 = 11 kilogram kilogram.
So, in this case the total quantity of opium, Hêrôin and other narcotics in the solid (the Narcotics that the offender was unauthorized and acquisition) is equal to 11 kilograms of opium (1).
-Second: take Hêrôin do to computer 4 kg opium and 150 grams of other narcotics in the solid is equivalent to how many grams Hêrôin (calculated according to the rate of the minimum weight of Hêrôin and of Hêrôin, opium and other narcotics in solid prescribed in clause 4 Article 194) specifically : * for the poppy: 5 kilogram opium equivalent to 100 grams of Hêrôin kilograms of opium equivalent to 4 X grams of Hêrôin X = 4 x 100-kilogram gram 5 kilogram = 80 grams of hêrôin * for the other narcotics in solid: 300 grams of other narcotics in solidity equivalent to 100 grams of Hêrôin 150 grams of other narcotics in solidity equivalent to Y Hêrôin Y = 150 grams grams x 100 300 grams grams = Hêrôin Plus the weight of 50 grams of opium and other narcotics in the solid medium can calculate the equivalent weight of Hêrôin (X and Y) with real Hêrôin weight there is: 80 gram + 50 gram + 90 grams = 220 grams so, in this case the total quantity of opium, Hêrôin and other narcotics in the solid (the Narcotics that the offender has left the sale allow) the equivalent of 220 grams of Hêrôin (2).
-Tuesday: take other narcotics in solid standard to do computer 4 kg opium and 90 grams of Hêrôin equal to how many grams of other narcotics in solid (calculated according to the rate of the minimum weight of other narcotics in solid and opiates, narcotics in their other solid and Hêrôin prescribed in paragraph 4 to article 194); in particular: * for the poppy: 5 kilogram opium equivalent to 300 grams of other narcotics in the solid.
4 kilograms of opium equivalent of X grams of other narcotics in the solid.
X = 4 x 300 kilograms grams 5 kilogram = 240 grams of other narcotics in solid * for Hêrôin: 100 grams Hêrôin is equivalent to 300 grams of other narcotics in the solid.
90 gram equivalent to Hêrôin grams of other narcotics in Y can be solid.
Y = 90 grams x 300 grams 100 grams = 270 grams of other narcotics in solid Plus weight of opium and Hêrôin just calculate the equivalent weight of other narcotics in solid (X and Y) with the weight of other narcotics in solid food is: 240 grams + 270 grams + 150 grams = 660 grams so in this case, the total amount of opium, Hêrôin and other narcotics in the solid (the Narcotics that the offenders were unauthorized purchases) is equivalent to 660 grams of other narcotics in May (3).
-Compare the results determines the total amount of narcotics is equivalent (as the Narcotics were taken as standard), i.e. comparison of the results (1), (2), (3) with each other and with instructions in subsection 3.1 section 3 shows: * If the total amount of the Narcotics opium weight equivalent (11kg) then apply the point h paragraph 4 to article 194 to treat penalize the offenders to life imprisonment (if not under the circumstances be directed in subsection 3.3 and 3.4 of this section 3).

* If the total amount of narcotics is equivalent to Hêrôin weight (220 grams) or with other narcotics weight in solid (660 grams), then apply the point h paragraph 4 to article 194 to sanction the offender to twenty years of imprisonment (if not under the circumstances be directed in subsection 3.3 and 3.4 of this section 3).
Results of comparison above shows if retrieved a total quantity of narcotics that the offender has unauthorized purchase the equivalent weight of Hêrôin or other narcotics in the solid are more profitable for the offender; Therefore, in this example can take the total amount of narcotics is equivalent to the weight of the total or Hêrôin drugs, equivalent to the weight of other narcotics in solidity to trial for the accused.
3.3. In case there are many extenuating circumstances without the aggravation or have little more aggravation, and reviews the nature of mitigation and aggravating deems may mitigate criminal liability for the offender, it may sanction the offender than the lighter sentence level are instructed in subsection 3.1 section 3 as follows a. sanctions imprisonment from fifteen years to twenty years if the weight of narcotics in a subsection 3.1 section 3 this (in this case must have at least two extenuating circumstances the provisions of paragraph 1 to article 46 PENAL CODE);
