Summary
The accused admitted possessing prohibited pills for personal use and denied intent to deal; the prosecution's only evidence of dealing was the large quantity. The court convicted him of possession for use, imposed a discretionary penalty and a travel ban, and the Court of Appeal upheld it.
Principle
Intent to deal must be proven by evidence; a large quantity seized is not enough on its own.
