McKeown said the drugs were for his own personal use.
A solicitor for the defendant said he admitted he would have smoked cannabis but the cocaine was a one off.
District Judge, Mr Mervyn Bates, said the cocaine offence was a more serious matter.
He explained that he imposed the conditional discharge so that if McKeown came back to court for a similar offence he would reserve the right to impose a prison sentence.
