UK: Lift for cannabis gran

Sunday Sun

Saturday 24 Mar 2007

---
Neighbours of under-fire cannabis gran Patricia Tabram have told housing
association bosses to leave her alone.

Patricia is facing eviction from her home, in Humshaugh, Northumberland,
by Milecastle Housing.

Milecastle bosses say they will be forced to take action if the
68-year-old continues to use the class C drug in breach of her tenancy
agreement.

But neighbour Jean Fawcett has claimed housing bosses are being
heavy-handed and should leave Patricia alone as she only uses the drug
for pain relief.

Jean, 80, said: "I can't understand it at all. If Patricia was a drug
dealer and all sorts of people were coming to the street at different
times of the day, I would be the first to complain, but that simply
isn't the case.

"I think it is awful that a group of people can put someone in the
position where they have to choose between a pain-free life or being
made homeless."

Mrs Tabram was sentenced on March 7 to 250 hours of community service
after being found guilty of possessing and cultivating cannabis.
