UK: Granny fumes at cannabis conviction

Reuters

Wednesday 07 Mar 2007

---
LONDON (Reuters) - A grandmother found guilty of growing and possessing
cannabis on Wednesday vowed to keep using it in her cooking as a painkiller.

Patricia Tabram, 68, who lives near Hexham, was sentenced to 250 hours
community service and ordered to pay 1,000 pounds of costs at Carlisle
Crown Court.

"I'm still going to medicate with cannabis", she said outside the court
after sentencing. "This court is not fit for purpose."

"I need it to keep me out of pain. I get five hours pain relief from one
cup of hot chocolate with cannabis in," she said.

Tabram, a campaigner for the medicinal use of cannabis, said she would
appeal against the sentence.

She narrowly avoided a jail sentence two years ago after admitting
possession of the drug in 2005.

Later that year she was arrested after police seized cannabis plants and
cultivating equipment at her house.
