UK: Hash cake gran faces jail Robin Perrie The Sun Wednesday 26 Jan 2005 A GRANNY faces jail after feeding her neighbours casseroles and cakes laced with CANNABIS. Grey-haired Patricia Tabram, 66, started taking the drug to relieve pain following a car crash. The retired restaurant boss then discovered the effects lasted longer if she used it in cooking. She used to make soups, cheesecakes, hot pots and pies which were a hit with neighbours. Tabram first bought the drug from a pub, then started growing her own. But police raided her country cottage after a tip-off. She was let off with a caution. But when cops called again they seized cannabis worth UKP850. Now Tabram faces up to five years in jail after admitting one offence of possession to supply at Newcastle Crown Court. The pensioner, of Humshaugh, Northumberland, suffered depression after finding her son Duncan, 14, dead in bed in 1975. She also had back and neck pain after the crash. Tabram, who was freed on bail, said: 'If they send me to jail I can finish my book - Grandma Eats Cannabis. If Jeffrey Archer can write a book in prison, so can I.'
