The Court quashed the trafficking conviction and substituted a conviction for simple possession. Applying Mok Cho-tik, the Court adopted a starting point of 15 months, added 12 months for latent risk (total 27 months), then reduced the sentence by one-third to reflect the appellant's firm intention to plead guilty, resulting in an 18-month imprisonment sentence; the appellant was unsuitable for DATC admission on the facts.
