Care For A Schmoke, Granny?
So this is an article I ran across in this week's edition of Nashville's All the Rage. Enjoy.
A 66-year old British grandmother with a taste for marijuana casserole was spared jail last week, despite admitting she had shared cannabis-laced cookies with fellow pensioners.
Patricia Tabram, who said she uses cannabis to alleviate pain in her neck and back, pleaded guilty to possession of the drug with intent to supply.
But Judge David Hodson said he would not make a "martyr" of her when she returned to Newcastle Crown Court for sentencing. Instead, she received a six-month suspended prison sentence.
The white-haired, bespectacled granny was unrepentant, and said she would keep cooking with pot.
Tabram has become a symbol for Britain's "legalize marijuana" campaign. On her Website, www.grandma-eats-cannabis.com, she promises to soon provide free recipes, as well as tea towels and mugs for sale.
Police said they raided Tabram's home after a tip-off and found 31 cannabis plants, along with hydroponic cultivation equipment. In a later raid they found 47 bags of "skunk", a particularly strong form of the drug.
The set-up at Tabram's home "bore all the hallmarks of any sophisticated drug dealer," police said in a statement.
Guess we're gonna have to rethink Grandma's famous chocolate chip recipe...
