Grandma Pat, the outspoken pensioner who openly bakes cannabis, will
attend a pro-cannabis political party's annual conference in Norwich this
weekend.
Patricia Tabram, of Humshaugh in Northumbserland, will speak at the
gathering.
The 65-year-old widow is famed for being the first British pensioner to
admit possessing the drug and distributing it among her 16-strong pensioners'
group. She claimed it relieved her pain
from arthritis and even set up a cannabis cookery club.
National co-ordinator Alun Buffry said he was delighted she was
attending. Anyone interested in the
cannabis debate is being urged to attend the annual Legalise Cannabis Alliance
conference on Saturday in the lecture theatre in the Elizabeth Fry Buildings at
the University of East Anglia at noon.
Don Barnard, spokesman for the organisation, which has its headquarters
in Norwich, said:
"We would like to see lots of students there. It will be a day of confirming candidates
across the country and we will discuss our election strategy. There will also be a chance to ask
candidates questions."
