A man was told by a magistrate to find ways to cure his sleeplessness other than cannabis.
Geno Anaru Van Zyl, 26, pleaded guilty in Gladstone Magistrates Court on Monday to drug-driving.
Police prosecutor Kelvin Boyd read the facts of Van Zyl’s case to the court and Acting Magistrate Damian Carroll.
On November 10 last year, about 6.53am, Calliope Road Policing Unit officers intercepted Van Zyl on the Bruce Highway, Bororen.
He submitted to a roadside drug test, which returned a positive result, and he was taken to a police vehicle for further testing.
When questioned, Van Zyl made admissions to smoking a cannabis joint as he was on his way to work in Agnes Water.

A Gladstone woman with four previous domestic violence convictions has again fronted court for a violent attack.
The 28-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty in Gladstone Magistrates Court on February 19 to contravening a domestic violence order.
The court was told police were called to an incident where the woman had punched her victim through a car window and bit him on the arm.
She told police she had bitten him so that he would go away.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Tanya Griffiths said the woman had four other convictions for violent offences dating back to February 2019.
After the victim left, Mozley became violent and kicked the victim’s left side vehicle mirror.
The incident was seen by several witnesses who informed the victim of what had happened.
The victim provided a description of Mozley to police and they later found him walking down Bramston St heavily intoxicated.
Due to his high level of intoxication, police were unable to question him and he was arrested.
Duty lawyer Rio Ramos said her client did not have any recollection of the incident due to his intoxication.
“At the time of his offence he suffered some injuries, namely a broken hand as a result of that,” she said.
