    An 80-year-old Oamaru man found with more than 15 ounces of cannabis - has told a judge he plans to kick his habit

    An 80-year-old Oamaru man found with more than 15 ounces of cannabis - has told a judge he plans to kick his habit


    Brian Arbuckle appeared in the Oamaru District Court on Wednesday for sentencing on a charge of possessing cannabis.

    Arbuckle told police the cannabis was for personal use and was harvested from four plants he stumbled across in a forest about a year earlier.

    His lawyer says Arbuckle sustained a serious injury more than 30 years ago and frequently self-medicated with cannabis.

    The judge ordered Arbuckle to re-appear if called on within six months
