Where seized material is a heterogeneous mixture, the quantity for commercial-threshold purposes must be assessed on the basis of the actual narcotic content rather than the whole weighed mass. On the record described, the flowering tops were not separately quantified, creating a prima facie doubt on commercial quantity and, correspondingly, on the applicability of Section 37.
