Large-scale commercial trafficking in and production of methylamphetamine over approximately four years generating $500,000 profit warrants a sentence of at least 10 years' imprisonment after discount for a guilty plea. Continuation of offending while on bail may be taken into account by reducing the discount for the guilty plea rather than increasing the head sentence. Involvement in a trafficking operation for a short period (16 days) but with participation in production and possession of a large quantity (165 grams pure methylamphetamine) warrants a sentence of 3.5 years after discount for an early guilty plea.
