A total effective sentence of 3 years 6 months' imprisonment for three counts of possession with intent to sell or supply (MDMA and methylamphetamine) committed on two occasions by a user-dealer is within the established sentencing range and does not infringe the totality principle. The [name withheld] range of 2-5 years for methylamphetamine quantities between 3g and 65g continues to apply. Sentencing findings that a user-dealer intended to use the bulk of drugs personally with the balance for sale or supply are not mitigatory where the offender denied dealing in that drug type.
