Where seized material contains esters of morphine and there is evidence or agreement that it can be converted into a larger quantity of saleable salts, the court may apply CHAN Chi-ming sentencing guidelines to the saleable quantity (via notional conversion or tariff adjustment); however esters and salts are distinct for sentencing and the trial judge must give proper credit for a guilty plea — failure to do so justifies reduction of sentence.
