RESPONDENT JUDGEMENT I have considered the submissions of counsel. A sentence of 3 years for 1 roll of bhang is indeed excessive. The Appellant was sentenced in February 2010 and has now served about eight (8) months in prison. In my view this is sufficient punishment for his offence. He has no doubt learnt his lesson. Sentence of 3 years is hereby set aside and is substituted with time served. Appellant to be set at liberty unless he is otherwise lawfully held.
