James Webber, 32, from Hullbridge Road, South Woodham Ferrers, pleaded guilty at Chelmsford Crown Court to the production of the illegal plants in the loft and kitchen at his home.
The court heard how Webber, an engineer who studied the building of timber-framed structures at university, had begun using the drug after medication he was using for "serious headaches" led to insomnia.
"He had been suffering from a head condition," said Howard Godfrey QC, representing Webber. "He was consuming a considerable amount of medication and they had some side effects meaning that he has not been able to sleep for years.
"He knows now that he has got to stop. This isn't going to happen again."
