    The two-month immediate custodial sentence (reduced from a three-month starting point by one-third for a guilty plea) was within sentencing discretion and not manifestly excessive given the commercial nature of the trafficking in a discotheque frequented by young people, the appellant's prior convictions, and established sentencing tariffs (adjusted for herbal cannabis) articulated in Tuen Shui Ming.
