The way they sentence you is that every drug gets converted to marrijuana weight. One gram of x= 450 grams of marijuana. They do the same for steroids. One amp equals a certain weight in marijuana. Thats how they determine the severity of the offense. What I am talking about is the federal level for newyork. I don't know exactly for the state level but I do know it is not as severe as the federal. Its very long to search through but if you type federal sentencing guidelines you should be able to find the converstion charts of various substances to marijuana weight.
