Sheriff Derek Livingston said: “I think this was you socially making money from your friends and acquaintances. You’re fortunate the courts have been a lot more lenient over the supply of cannabis over the last few years.”
He ordered Smith, 57 Oswald Street, Falkirk, to complete 135 hours of unpaid work within 12 months.
