Aaron Collins, of Harrison Court, Hawbush, Brierley Hill, admitted one count of possession with intent to sell cannabis and possession of an mephedrone.

The court heard how police also found a CS gas canister in his house while carrying out a search warrant. Mr Robert Cowley, prosecuting, said police had found plants that could yield 220g of cannabis.

Mr Ekwal Tiwana, for Collins, said: "He has been rather silly because he had accrued a large debt and needed to pay it off."

Collins was sentenced to a 12 month community order and 100 hours unpaid work and told to pay costs of £535.
