UK: Southampton woman grew £10,000 of cannabis to ease mum's tumour pain Felix Morris Daily Echo Monday 15 Aug 2016 Police stumbled over the haul cultivated by Aimee Wynn during a search for a missing person in Southampton, the city's crown court was told. However Wynn was was spared an immediate jail sentence after the judge accepted she was not trying to make money. Wynn, 39, had pleaded guilty to the production of cannabis and two other charges earlier this year. Police had been searching the area around the home Wynn shared with her parents in Condor Close, Woolston, for a missing person, the court heard. Officers were invited into the property by Wynn's parents and said they immediately smelt cannabis coming from upstairs. Wynn, who had been upstairs with a friend, admitted she had been smoking a joint there. When police went to the second floor of the house they found the ceiling of one of the rooms was covered in foil and also found bags of cannabis, to which Wynn said: "You have caught me bang at it." The police discovered that there were 47 stems of the drug, totalling just over a kilogramme in "skunk" cannabis. Police estimated that the total street value of the haul would be a little under £10,000. But Wynn said that she was not growing the plant for financial gain, but to produce cannabis oil for her mother, for whom she is a carer. Her mother suffers from two brain tumours and has to take 20 pills, four times a day, as part of her treatment, and Wynn was hoping to persuade her mother to use cannabis oil to help with her illness. Wynn's father has also recently undergone tests for cancer after coughing up blood. She had pleaded guilty earlier this year to three offences, including production of cannabis, possession of amphetamines and gaining unlawful access to electricity. Judge Nicholas Rowland accepted that it appeared Wynn was not attempting to make financial gain from the production of the single harvest of the cannabis and handed her a two-year suspended sentence. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/14681947.Southampton_woman_grew___10_000_of_cannabis_to_ease_mum_s_tumour_pain/
