The offender was told he would go to prison if caught driving while disqualified again.
Scott Goldmyre (44) of Skye Road, appeared at Inverness Sheriff Court and admitted driving with more than the safe limit of cannabis in his system.
He was stopped by police in Longman Road, Inverness on November 23 last year and tested positive for the drug.
Subsequent analysis showed he was three times the limit, with six mcg of the Class B drug in his system when the legal safe limit is two mcg.
Sheriff Gary Aitken fined him £640 and banned him from driving for 12 months
Defence solicitor Maureen Duffy said: “He lives in a converted truck so this will cause him accommodation problems.”
Sheriff Aitken commented: “Well the lesson is that he should not smoke cannabis and get behind the wheel.”
He then told Goldmyre: “You have a string of convictions for driving while disqualified in the early 2000s.
“I can assure you that if you drive during your current ban, you will go to jail.”
