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.
