Legalise Cannabis Alliance Legalise Cannabis Alliance
Wednesday 07 Mar 2007 Press Release - No Embargo LCA PO BOX 2883 STOKE ON TRENT S74 9EE www.lca-uk.org CANNABIS GRAN OUTRAGE The Legalise Cannabis Alliance (LCA) Who campaign for the full legalisation of cannabis are outraged at the sentencing of "Cannabis Gran" Pat Tabram. Mr Tabram 68, was sentenced to 250 hours community service and £1000 fine after being found guilty by jury of possession of cultivation and possession of cannabis which she claims to use in food preparations to ease her medical symptoms. Alun Buffry of the LCA said " This is an inevitable but gross misuse of the law - obviously the Misuse of Drugs Act was not created to punish people for growing plants to ease pain. "Mrs Tabram ought never have been prosecuted but once the court, where the Jury are told by the judge that they cannot even consider the medical use of cannabis, they had to return a guilty verdict based on the evidence alone" "The legal system in this country has let us all down when it punishes people for simply growing cannabis to relieve their suffering, especially when nothing else works as well, as in this case.
