He said that it was for his own use.
A barrister representing the defendant said it was his client’s third conviction for a drugs offence.
He added that Brady had stopped using cannabis and had a job interview.
Deputy District Judge Laura Ievers said Brady had a chance to get into the workplace and that would be an incentive to stay out of trouble.
