A cannabis dealer has been jailed for 16 months after being caught with £6,000 worth of the drug which he claimed he took to stop him dying in his sleep.

Gordon McIntosh turned to the class B substance after a life-changing car crash which left him in a medically induced coma for months.

The lasting effects of the accident included the potentially fatal disorder sleep apnoea and the Forfar 50-year-old believed the drug helped reduce the lethal risk of the condition, which puts sufferers at risk through irregular sleep-time breathing.

But when police raided his home in January this year they discovered a major haul of herbal cannabis and cannabis resin, along with over £1,000 in cash.

McIntosh admitted supplying the drug and said he had been asked to store it on a single date, but also accepted he had made money out of selling hundreds of pounds worth.
