The heroin dealer who became the poster child of a Brooklyn judge’s policy of not tossing recently released cons back into jail for smoking pot has been busted again — this time for credit card forgery.

Tyran Trotter, 22, was the focus of a recent opinion by Brooklyn federal Judge Jack Weinstein, who declared he would no longer reimprison those who ­violated their supervised release by toking.

Weinstein, 96, ended Trotter’s stint of supervised release on a heroin rap, saying the dealer “must attempt to lead a productive life of his own” and that the jurist wasn’t going to punish him for a “chronic” pot habit.

Trotter was arraigned Wednesday in Queens Criminal Court on the forgery rap and released — again ­under supervision.

Weinstein declined to comment.
