UK: Eviction Warning for Cannabis Gran

Gemma Somerville

Hexham Courant

Thursday 22 Mar 2007

---
A 68-YEAR-OLD grandmother from Humshaugh could be evicted from her home
after being convicted of growing cannabis on the premises.

Patricia Tabram, of East Lea, dubbed “the cannabis gran”, has been
warned by her housing association that she will be kicked out if she
carries on using the drug.

Mrs Tabram, who claims cannabis relieves her pain and depression,
escaped jail earlier this month after being found guilty at Carlisle
Crown Court of possessing and cultivating cannabis.

Despite being given a 250-hour community service order, Mrs Tabram has
insisted she will continue to “self-medicate”, prompting Milecastle
Housing, with whom she is a tenant, to apply for a possession order on
the property.

Milecastle’s tenancy services manager Chris Scott said: “If the order is
granted, Mrs Tabram will be allowed to continue living at the property
only as long as she observes the terms of her tenancy agreement and
specifically does not cultivate, possess or use cannabis in the property.

“We will be monitoring this very closely.”
