The charge of manufacturing was misapplied in circumstances where the defendant's acts were a technical preparation of drugs for personal consumption; manufacturing charges should be reserved for trafficking contexts and not used to enhance sentences for simple possession; therefore the manufacturing conviction/sentence was quashed and substituted with nominal sentences already served, entitling the appellant to immediate release.
