He uses the almost eight and a half pounds of marijuana police found at his home for his asthma, Edwy McGlen Small said yesterday.

The 67-year-old, of St Matthias, Christ Church, was in the District “A” Magistrates’ Court, where he pleaded guilty to possession of cannabis, having a traffickable quantity of the drug, having the drug with intent to supply and cultivating it on September 7.
