[2011] EWCA Crim 1180

The court found that a defendant was not in possession of cannabis with intent to supply it within the meaning of the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 s.5(3). The intention to supply had to be an intention to supply the thing of which he was in possession at the material time, and his intended supply was the supply of the harvested end-product, not the supply of the immature plants as they existed.
