The correct starting point must be weight‑based and adjusted for the aggravation of multiple drug types and the appellant's role; the trial judge erred by excluding any self-consumption of crystalline ice and by selecting an excessive starting point (7 years 6 months); a revised starting point of 7 years with a ~15% reduction for partial self-consumption and a reduced guilty‑plea discount yields an appropriate sentence of 4 years 4 months' imprisonment, which replaces the original manifestly excessive 59‑month sentence.
