Cannabis plants found in cultivation rooms in a Blenheim garage were being grown in rotation so the owner always had a ready supply, police say.
Miles Norman Dudley, 38, a beneficiary, admitted cultivating cannabis, possession of utensils and possession of cannabis, when he appeared in the Blenheim District Court on Monday.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Steve Frost said Dudley had grown cannabis on a five-weekly cycle for years so he would never run out.
He said police found two rooms in Dudley's garage equipped with extractor fans and lights when they searched his house on March 19. The smaller room contained 19 plants about 700 millimetres tall and 31 seedlings growing in plastic incubators. The other room held 12 plants about 300mm tall.
In Dudley's bedroom, police found a coffee grinder used to shred cannabis, three pipes and 2.5 grams of cannabis.
Defence counsel Gary Sawyer said Dudley suffered from social phobias which would restrict sentencing options.
Dudley was remanded on bail for sentencing on June 21.
