A MAN who was charged for having three grammes of marijuana in his possession told the court that he used the prohibited substance for smoking, to cool down his head whenever he is stressed out about not finding a job. 

Aubrey Denny (no address stated) was sentenced yesterday to three days of community service together with $3,000 fine on the narcotic offence.
Denny appeared before Magistrate Faith McGusty and pleaded guilty to the charge, particulars of which said that on Friday, March 14 at East Ruimveldt, Georgetown, he had three grammes of cannabis sativa (marijuana) in his possession.
Police Corporal Seon Blackman, prosecuting, did not relate any facts to the court. Magistrate McGusty ordered the defendant to do community service which will be supervised by Constable Kyte at East Ruimveldt Police Outpost, and it must be completed before April 4.
