The conviction for possession of dangerous drugs for the purpose of trafficking was unsafe because an admixture containing esters/salts of morphine is not covered by the presumption in s.46 as established in Leung Lin-luk; therefore the trafficking conviction was substituted with simple possession and the sentence reduced from two years to 12 months while the separate conviction for smoking a dangerous drug was upheld.
