Man grew his own cannabis after having gun pointed at him while buying on street

A 33-YEAR-OLD man who used cannabis to self-medicate decided to grow his own after having a gun pointed at him while buying on the street.

Blackburn magistrates heard Stefan Golec had been terrified by the incident.

Golec, 33, of Wordsworth Close, Oswaldtwistle, pleaded guilty to producing cannabis and abstracting electricity.

He was remanded on bail for the preparation of a pre-sentence report.

Imran Hussain, for Golec, said his client had been involved in a serious road traffic accident six years ago which resulted in his face having to be rebuilt with metal plates. 

“He still has pain from that and uses cannabis in a medical way for pain relief,” said Mr Hussain. “When he was buying on the street he didn’t feel safe.

“At one stage he had a gun pointed at him and that was when he decided to grow his own.”
