Curtis Broxton, aged 24, was caught driving a Vauxhall Movano on the A489 at Caersws, near Newtown, on October 28 last year.
A test found he had 4.2 microgrammes of Delta 9 THC - the main psychoactive part of cannabis - in his system. The legal limit, taking into consideration accidental exposure to the illegal Class B drug, is 2mcg.
Broxton, of Dinas Road, Aberystwyth, pleaded guilty at Welshpool Magistrates Court to driving with a proportion of a controlled drug above the specified limit.
He was banned from driving for 12 months and fined £166. Broxton must also pay £151 in other court costs.
