Jamie Swain, aged 29, was driving a Vauxhall Astra in High Street, Hadley, Telford when he was caught on May 17 this year.
A test found he had seven microgrammes of Delta 9 THC - the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis - per litre of blood. The legal limit, taking into account accidental exposure to the illegal, Class B drug, is 2mcg.
Swain, of Riven Road, Hadley, Telford, pleaded guilty at Kidderminster Magistrates Court to driving with a proportion of a controlled drug above the specified limit.
Magistrates disqualified him from driving for 12 months and fined him £230.
Swain must also pay prosecution costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £92.
