Sentences of 3 years 2 months for possession with intent to sell or supply 56.17 grams of methylamphetamine (4-6% purity) and 1 year 3 months for 19.3 grams of ecstasy (21-25% purity) are within the customary range. Cumulative sentences for distinct drug offences found on the same occasion do not necessarily infringe the totality principle where the total sentence reflects the total criminality. The one transaction rule does not apply merely because multiple drug types are found in a person's possession on a single occasion.
