Determination of the stereoisomeric distribution of R-(-)- and S-(+)-methamphetamine in Thai pills in the legal context of "not inconsiderable quantities".

In conclusion, the analyses revealed that the single value for a "not inconsiderable quantity" in Switzerland seems outdated. Most of the sized pills showed a much higher concentration of the more potent S-(+)-methamphetamine. The risks related to taking such a pill are much higher and therefore the limit quantity should be adapted to the potency of the respective enantiomers.
