Accused's unqualified guilty plea and forensic proof of morphine in urine establish the offence under Section 15(1)(a); prior conviction activates enhanced mandatory sentencing under Section 39C(2); whipping is excluded due to accused being over fifty (Section 289(c)); mitigating value of early plea acknowledged but outweighed by extensive prior convictions (18 recorded) and public interest, resulting in an 8‑year custodial sentence from date of arrest and 2 years supervision under Section 38B.
