Evans, of Kingsway, Hereford, was fined a total of £615 for the offences, with magistrates saying that they had taken his guilty pleas to both of the charges into account when coming to their decision on the penalty.
He was also ordered to pay prosecution costs of £135 and a £246 victim surcharge, which is used to help fund services supporting victims of crime.
Both the cannabis and the heroin found in his possession were ordered to be forfeited and destroyed.
