Magistrate Geeta Chandan sentenced a woman to three years imprisonment
after she told the court that she is sick and uses cannabis as a cure.

According to the Fort Wellington Court report Jennifer Glasgow of Lamaha
Springs, Georgetown, pleaded guilty to a charge of possession of
narcotics for the purpose of trafficking when she appeared at court. She
was also fined $10,000 or an additional 20 days imprisonment.

Glasgow on Wednesday had in her possession 2.2 kilograms of cannabis for
the purpose of trafficking.

Police Prosecutor, Sergeant Hatty Anthony, told the court that the woman
was travelling in a minibus which was stopped and searched during a
police roadblock and she was found with the items that included weeds,
seeds and stems.

Glasgow told the magistrate that she was sorry for the offence and that
she is sick and takes the drugs to cure her fibroids.
