However, considering the fact that the defendant repents and reflects his mistake in depth, the fact that the defendant seems to have closely imported synthetic marijuana for personal purposes, not for distributing synthetic marijuana, and that the amount of synthetic marijuana imported by the defendant is relatively small, the primary offender, and other factors of sentencing as shown in the arguments of this case, such as the defendant's age, character and conduct, family environment, and circumstances after the crime, the punishment as shown in the text shall be determined by comprehensively taking into account all factors of sentencing as indicated in the arguments of this case.

It is so decided as per Disposition for the above reasons.

1) The indictment contains a statement that the weight of 5F-PB-2, the Defendant’s smuggling imported, is 4.8gg, but it appears that it is a clerical error of 4.3g in the seizure protocol.
