The Court held the judge did not err: an offer to supply may be sentenced on the same basis as trafficking; the judge was entitled to extrapolate narcotic content from the sample, the stated price and the surrounding evidence and to find the applicant intended to complete the transaction; given the large assumed quantity and the applicant's extensive trafficking record a 12-year starting point was not manifestly excessive; the appeal against sentence fails though leave is granted to clarify the concurrency and consecutiveness directions.
