He said: “I put it into my food and eat it”.
He indicated he wished to plead guilty and a prosecutor began to outline the case.
As soon as she said “15 grammes” of cannabis were found, the accused immediately interrupted and said: “That’s lies”.
The accused said he was keen for the case to be dealt with that day and insisted he wanted to enter a guilty plea.
