Peter Karanja Mwangi affirmed to a court that he was caught with 7 rolls of bhang worth sh 70.
The substance which was not in medicinal form obliged officers to arrest him on Saturday November 17th at Gikomba market.
Coincidentally officers were at his rescue as he was also being attacked by a mob for suspicion of stealing within the same market.
Karanja told the Makadara court that he abused the susbtance due to his nature of hard labor and waking up to odd jobs on a daily basis.
The court requested for a probation officers report on the 26th of November .
If he fails to appeal through good conduct he risks facing up to 12 months imprisonment for possessing bhang.
