A POLICE raid in Dunfermline found a cannabis cultivation with a potential street value of £13,000.
There were 40 plants discovered in the Adamson Crescent home of Andrew Broadley.
At Dunfermline Sheriff Court, 33-year-old Broadley admitted that between November 1 and November 25, 2015, he produced a controlled drug, cannabis.
He also admitted he was concerned in the supplying of cannabis to others.
When police officers raided his home following a tip-off, Broadley told them: “It’s only a bit of weed. I’ve got 40 of them in the bedroom. They’re all mine.”
Police found 20 plants in a tent and the other 20 were under lights.
The cannabis yield from the plants was estimated at 1,120 grams and it could have a street value of up to £10,000, said depute fiscal Alex Piper.
There was also a quantity of cannabis being dried and it had a value of around £3,000.
Defence solicitor James Moncrieff said: “He has smoked cannabis for a period of time. He was growing his own rather than buying it at this time.
“There were 40 plants in the house. He had been planning to smoke a chunk of it but admits he was also selling some of it to associates.”
Sheriff Craig McSherry called for reports and Broadley will be sentenced on February 16.
