[2011] EWCA Crim 2591

A conviction for the supply of cannabis was unsafe where the judge had failed to direct the jury that the prosecution must prove that the accused was dealing specifically in cannabis, or as to what use it could make of the evidence of previous convictions, or the relevance of the small amount of cannabis found at the accused's premises on arrest.
