Convictions on counts 3 (possession of Rohypnol) and 4 (manufacture contrary to s.6(1)(a)) are unsafe because the judge misdirected the jury by equating knowledge that manufacture was occurring with involvement in manufacture and by permitting inference of knowledge from tenancy/access without requiring proof of occupation or visits; manufacturing requires proof the accused did something to help or participated, not mere knowledge, therefore convictions quashed.
