DRUG squad detectives found a man with heroin in his trouser pocket when they raided a flat in Kidderminster.
Mark Guest told them that he had borrowed the trousers but admitted the heroin was his, said Paul Whitfield, prosecuting.
Guest, aged 22, formerly of Comberton Hill, admitted possession of the drug but denied he intended to supply it to others. This plea was accepted by the prosecution.
Graham Henson, defending, told Worcester Crown Court that Guest had been addicted to the drug since he was 18.
He had landed a job as a packer and wanted to be sentenced immediately.
But Recorder Graham Cliff said he would be doing Guest - who had 20 convictions for 50 other offences but only one for drugs - no favours if he did not have a pre-sentence report.
Guest, now living in Wolverhampton, was remanded on bail.
