A 32-year-old Grantown man grew up to £21,000 of cannabis in the loft of his home.
Marcin Rozwadowski of Strathspey Court admitted producing cannabis on July 17, 2016, at Inverness Sheriff Court yesterday.
Fiscal depute Robert Weir told Sheriff Gordon Fleetwood that police received information that there may be a cannabis farm in the property and obtained a search warrant.
“Officers found tents, lamps, other equipment and cannabis plants in the loft with a total value of between £6,000 and £21,000.
“There was no indication of any onward supply. He gave a full and frank interview to police and told officers that he had a cannabis habit.
“He said he was growing it for himself instead of buying it elsewhere.”
Sheriff Fleetwood told defence lawyer Marc Dickson: “The worrying aspect is that he was growing it in a house with a young child.”
Mr Dickson replied: “The child is only six months old and is not capable of accessing it.”
Rozwadowski was ordered to carry out 250 hours of unpaid community work as an alternative to prison. All the plants and equipment were confiscated.
