A solicitor representing the defendant said that he did not have a problem with drugs but he was in regular contact with his GP about anxiety and panic attacks arising from issues as a child.
District Judge, Mr Mervyn Bates, said he was concerned about two previous diversions and that Mohammed was accumulating something of a record.
He warned the defendant that if he continued offending by taking drugs he would find himself facing custody.
