Charges 3 and 4 were distinct offences (sale and possession for sale) and Charge 4 added to the appellant's culpability in relation to Charge 3; the sentencing judge correctly sentenced each offence with appropriate starting points, applied a 6‑month enhancement for Form 8 recognizance status, gave one‑third discount for guilty pleas, and applied the totality principle to arrive at an overall sentence of 3 years and 8 months; no error of law in declining to combine the quantities for a single starting point.
