Cannabis grandmother spared jail


A 68-year-old grandmother convicted of growing cannabis at her Northumberland home has been given a 250 hour community service order.

Patricia Tabram, from Humshaugh, had denied charges of possessing and cultivating the drug when she appeared at Carlisle Crown Court.

"I'm still going to medicate with cannabis", she said outside the court after sentencing. "This court is not fit for purpose."
