1. Trafficking in “Ice” is a very serious offence. It is spreading death and destruction to others. The defendant himself is a drug addict. For this type of offence or offences, defendant’s background and his remorse carry little weight when it comes to sentencing. Sentence is basically deterrent and punitive for this kind of offence, and for “Ice,” there is a guideline for trafficking cases. For up to 10 grammes, the sentence is one between 3 and 7 years.
