Cannabis grandmother found guilty
A 68-year-old grandmother has been convicted of growing cannabis at her Northumberland home.
Patricia Tabram, from Humshaugh in Northumberland had denied charges of possessing and cultivating the drug at Carlisle Crown Court.
She was arrested after police seized plants and growing equipment from her house in September 2005.
Earlier that year Ms Tabram had been spared jail after admitting possessing cannabis with intent to supply.
The pensioner, who defended herself during the trial, is a vocal campaigner for the use of cannabis for medicinal purposes.
During her trial she claimed that she suffers from medical complaints that cannot be alleviated by conventional treatement.
When officers searched her house they found the plants and equipment inside a walk-in wardrobe.
Ms Tabram also told them there was powder stored in jars in her kitchen to be used in cooking.
