Cannabis user believed he was under influence of black magic curse

Accused was experiencing delusions at time of offence but has stayed out of trouble since, court told

A 37-year-old man facing sentence at Cork District Court for having cannabis for his own use was so unwell that he was convinced at the time that he was under the influence of a black magic curse.

Adil Hajjaj was living at Kilmoney Road in Carrigaline, Cork, at the time of the drugs offence in April 2020.
