A dad with a '15-year' weed habit - who claims he smokes it to deal with a 'debilitating' back injury - could 'rely on state benefits', but choses to work six days a week, his lawyer said as he appeared in court for drug driving.
Lee Maynard, 34, was caught by cops after they passed him in the street at 10am and smelled marijuana coming from his van.
The 35-year-old, from Stockport, was nearly two-and-a-half times the legal limit for cannabis. He denied smoking the drug in his vehicle, saying he did so at night to alleviate back pain.
