For an anabolic steroid that is not in a pill, capsule, tablet, or liquid form (e.g., patch, topical cream, aerosol), the court shall determine the base offense level using a reasonable estimate of the quantity of anabolic steroid involved in the offense. The Commission collects, analyzes, and disseminates a broad array of information on federal crime and sentencing practices. In a case involving 100 grams of oxymorphone, the converted drug weight would be 500 kilograms, which corresponds to a base offense level of 26 in the Drug Quantity Table. (B) To calculate the base offense level in an offense that involves two or more chemicals each of which is set forth in the Ephedrine, Pseudoephedrine, and Phenylpropanolamine Quantity Table, (i) aggregate the quantities of all such chemicals, and (ii) determine the base offense level corresponding to the aggregate quantity. 865 would achieve the "total punishment" in a manner that satisfies the statutory requirement of a consecutive sentence. Background: This section implements the direction to the Commission in Section 6482 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988.
