Graeme John Hinchliffe, 38, of Glenroi, was arrested near the intersection of Garema and Goorawin Road on June 15 after police received a report at 6.20pm.
Hinchliffe was taken to Orange Police Station where he was searched and police found a small foil ball containing 0.8 grams of cannabis in the right pocket of his pants.
Hinchliffe appeared before magistrate David Day in Orange Local Court.
Mr Day placed him on a 12-month community correction order with a requirement he attend rehabilitation and treatment.
"He's 38 years of age, he certainly does have some prior matters on his record," Mr Day said.
