Questão jurídica principal
Whether the first-instance court wrongly limited the drug quantity for the preparatory acts and trafficking charges.
Decisão extraída
The first-instance court could treat the various preparation and trafficking acts as different stages of the same offense; the complained-of factual findings were not shown to be arbitrary.
Fundamentação extraída
The acts formed a natural and temporal unity based on the same criminal plan, so preparatory conduct merged into the later completed offense.
