In R v. Parsons (1999), 1999 NSCA 156 (CanLII), 180 N.S.R. (2d) 281 (N.S.C.A.), the Accused was observed passing a marijuana cigarette among two other young people on the sidewalk adjacent to school grounds. He was 19 years old, lived with his parents and had no prior record. He pled guilty to charges of trafficking and possession.

In that case there was only the sharing of one cigarette, a circumstance less serious than the quantity of marijuana found in this case.
