A cannabis user caught with three-quarters-of-a-kilo of the drug at his Halton home later told police he used it to stop his cancer from spreading.
Benjamin Marzullo said that he made cannabis oil which he would massage into his skin, Leeds Crown Court heard.
Police attended his home on June 11 for an unrelated matter – a firearm offence that he was never prosecuted for. He was not home at the time but his partner called him and he said he would return home.
During a search of his property, officers found packages of cannabis in the loft and in an outhouse. It came to 785 grammes with a value of between £6,860 and £7,870. They also found more than £2,640 in cash.
When Marzullo returned home he was without his phone and later said he left in a panic. However, it was never traced, with the judge telling him she was “highly skeptical” about his explanation, hinting that it could have incriminated him further.
