The mandatory wording of s39C(1) of the Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 requires imprisonment of not less than five years for the offence under s15(1)(a); given the appellant's repeated drug convictions and insufficient mitigation, the court must and did impose the statutory minimum five-year term and a two-year supervision order under s38B; the guilty plea did not justify reducing the sentence below the statutory minimum.
