Are there any cases where a crime has been convicted of possession of a solid substance containing methamphetamine as a liquid form of the drug?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Valenzuela v. Superior Court, 33 Cal.App.4th 1445, 39 Cal.Rptr.2d 781 (Cal. App. 1995):

Nor is People v. Good (1990) 217 Cal.App.3d 1533, 266 Cal.Rptr. 608 applicable here. In that case, the police seized a solid substance containing 426 grams of methamphetamine and a flask containing a solution. By completing the cooking process on the solution, a criminologist was able to obtain 264 additional grams of methamphetamine. The question before the court was whether a sentence enhancement could be based on the combined weight of the methamphetamine recovered in both forms. In answering that question in the affirmative, the court did not even suggest that sentence enhancements could be based solely on offered or negotiated amounts of a controlled substance. Good involved an existing substance, albeit one existing partly as a solid and partly as a liquid.
