The Judge criticised a man before Naas District Court today pleading guilty to not smoking cannabis.
Evidence was given that the car which the accused was driving was searched by Gardaí and €20 of cannabis was found.
The court heard how the accused had a previous conviction for road traffic.
In court today, the accused outlined that when he was stopped by Gardaí, he was returning from dropping his friends off at the airport.
He said:"I am not sure how it got there."
Addressing the accused, Judge Desmond Zaidan said: "Why are you pleading guilty? The next thing you will say, I smoked but did not inhale. How can I give him a chance if he is coming up with this nonsense. "
In court the accused said that in the past he tried cannabis and 'did not like it.'
Defence Barrister Aisling Murphy outlined that the accused wants to travel abroad and could pay a donation in order to avoid a conviction.
Judge Zaidan ordered that the accused pay €750 to St Vincent de Paul.
