Section 36 of the Dangerous Drugs Act applies to proceedings under the Act including where the prosecution relies on s37(da); therefore prosecution need only prove possession and the statutory minimum weight to trigger the presumption under s37(da), and the burden to prove lawful authority rests on the accused; the trial judge correctly invoked s37(da) after factual findings of possession and weight; convictions and death sentences affirmed.
