Patricia Tabram, 66, who supplied
friends with casseroles, soups and cakes incorporating cannabis, was raided
yesterday by police who confiscated four plants. Mrs Tabram, of Hexham, who was
given a six-month suspended sentence last year, had insisted that the drug
dealt with back pain and depression better than conventional treatments.
Yesterday she said: "I've never successfully grown a cannabis plant - the
leaves of these were starting to go brown and die. But I don't want to have to
go to a local criminal for my supply. I'm just an old, grey, tubby grandma but
I'm going to fight this."
