The court held the magistrate's starting point of 18 months for trafficking was manifestly excessive on the authorities and tariff guidelines; after accounting for aggravating factors and a discount for the guilty plea the appropriate sentence for trafficking was 9 months imprisonment. The possession sentence of 4 months was reduced to 1 month. The possession sentence was ordered to be served consecutively to the trafficking sentence, producing a total effective term of 10 months imprisonment.
