UK: Man fined for having cannabis

Ely Standard

Thursday 30 Nov 2006

---
PATRICK Wong admitted regular use of cannabis and told police he bought
an ounce of the drug every fortnight when he was stopped by police with
13.2 grams of the substance.

Wong, 22, of The Chase, Ely, appeared at Ely Magistrates' Court on
Tuesday, where he admitted possession of cannabis on

September 4.

Prosecuting, Delia Matthews said: "When officers spoke to him they could
smell, or believed they could smell, cannabis - they searched his car
and found a bag containing 13.2 grams of the drug.

Mitigating, Michael Judkins said: "Unfortunately, cannabis has become a
problem for Mr Wong - he cannot get to sleep at night without it."

Mr Judkins said Wong has been trying to cut down on his intake since
becoming a full-time student at the University of Nottingham, and he had
arranged to see a counsellor on campus.

Presiding magistrate Hamish Ross said: "It is to your credit that you
are seeking counselling for this issue."

A £70 fine was imposed and Mr Wong was ordered to pay £50 costs. The
forfeiture and destruction of the cannabis was ordered.
