Two men were so disappointed with the quality of cannabis sold in Carrickfergus, Co Antrim, that they decided to grow their own, a court heard today.
Belfast Crown Court heard that 31-year-old Marcin Jarzebiak and 38-year-old Bartosz Czeslaw Szadkowski admitted a charge of growing cannabis.
Szadkowski also pleaded guilty to possession of the Class B drug.
Some 37 plants with associated paraphernalia was found in a search of the men's home.
The court agreed that the find was "not indicative of a commercial enterprise".
Szadkowski was sentenced to 12 months, suspended for two years, while Jarzebiak was given nine months, also suspended for two years.
