A probation report found that the father-of-four smoked cannabis to alleviate a chronic foot condition and his use has escalated over the years.
He worked as a shop fitter but has not been employed since 2015 because of his condition.He has three previous convictions, including possession of cannabis, criminal damage and making threats to kill.
Admitting a charge of possession with an intent to supply, his barrister, Eddison Flint said in mitigation: “He is not some big-time drug dealer in Leeds, he knows he should not have got involved with this enterprise.Judge Neil Clark accepted the dealing was “not on a large scale” and gave him eight months’ jail, suspended for 12 months.
