Because the seized mixture did not meet the statutory requirements of s.46, the presumption of possession for trafficking did not arise and the magistrate erred in convicting for trafficking when the charge was simple possession; accordingly the conviction was set aside and substituted by conviction for simple possession and the sentence reduced to four months, resulting in immediate release.
