The magistrate's starting point of six months was not flawed; mathematical scaling of the s.21 tariff to s.24 offences is inappropriate because sentencing guidelines must be adjusted for aggravating factors (quantity, prevalence, notorious location, prior convictions) and the appellant's record and the nature of the trade justified a deterrent sentence; therefore the four month sentences were not manifestly excessive and are affirmed.
