It's not a big if, this is standard practice in the US legal system. They weigh the drug + medium. If you have 1-9 grams, including the paper, minimum first offender sentence is 5 years. With the paper that's only a few doses.

so the impurities/media are considered to be the drug as well as substance itself. Im not very confident with the idea that 1gram of pure crystaline LSD would bring a lesser sentence than a sheet of blotter with one drop on it.
it seems the war on drugs has caused more brain damage than any recreational drug. This is similar to stunts like draining the drizzle from beer cans into one empty can and declaring an open alcoholic beverage was concealed in a vehicle. LEOs can have thier respect back when they stop this sort of nonsense.
