UK: Wales: Cannabis user jailed for four months

Western Telegraph

Saturday 10 Sep 2011

A Pembroke Dock man twice caught growing cannabis plants, who then declared he had no intention to stop using the drug, has been jailed for four months.

Bryan Llewellyn, aged 37, was warned by Judge Paul Thomas that he could not carry on defying the law.

Llewellyn, of Corporation Terrace, admitted cultivating cannabis plants, three offences of supplying cannabis and two of possessing cannabis for his own use.

Nicola Powell, prosecuting, told Swansea crown court that police officers searched his home and found cannabis in various locations. All told, they found 370 grams of herbal cannabis and 305 grams of cannabis resin, worth £2,223 on the street.

They also found £4,000 in notes and coins, scales, cannabis grinders and a mobile telephone.

Llewellyn admitted he had grown four cannabis plants during the summer. He said he took the drug to alleviate back pain.

He also admitted supplying cannabis to three people, one of them a 15 year old boy.

The court heard that Llewellyn had been cautioned by the police in 2008 for growing 12 plants.

His barrister, Chris James, said Llewellyn suffered an accident in 1998 and took a cocktail of drugs - including cannabis - for the pain.

Although he had admitted supplying cannabis he was not a commercial dealer and had not made any money out of it.

Judge Thomas said he noted that Llewellyn intended to continue using cannbis but the courts could not tolerate such deliberate criminality.

"At the end of the day the criminal law cannot be defied," he added.
