---<br /> <br /> <br /> LONDON (Reuters) - A 66-year-old grandmother who has a taste for marijuana <br /> casserole and has admitted to sharing cannabis-laced cookies with fellow <br /> pensioners has been spared jail.<br /> <br /> Patricia Tabram from East Lea, who said she ate cannabis in food to <br /> alleviate pains in her neck and back, pleaded guilty to possession of the <br /> drug with intent to supply.<br /> <br /> But Judge David Hodson said on Friday he would not make a "martyr" of her <br /> when she returned to Newcastle Crown Court for sentencing. Instead, she <br /> received a six-month suspended prison sentence.<br /> <br /> Outside the court, she said she intended to keep taking the drug "because <br /> it is far better than any tablets you can get from the doctor".<br /> <br /> The grey-haired granny has become a symbol for those who want to legalise <br /> pot. She is even writing a book.<br /> <br /> Last year, the government downgraded cannabis from the same class as <br /> cocaine and ecstasy to a lower class of illegal drug, which means police <br /> are not expected to arrest people for possessing small amounts, but can <br /> jail them for supplying it to others.<br /> <br /> Police said they raided Tabram's home after a tip-off in May last year and <br /> found 31 cannabis plants along with hydroponic cultivation equipment. In a <br /> later raid they found 47 bags of "skunk", a particularly strong form of the <br /> drug.<br /> <br /> The set-up at Tabram's home "bore all the hallmarks of any sophisticated <br /> drug dealer", police said in a statement.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Aurora Indica |  B52 |  Big Bud |  California Orange Bud |  Citral |  Four Way |  Haze |  Hindu Kush |  Indoor Mix |  Jock Horror |  K2 |  Maroc x Afghan |  Northern Light x Big Bud |  Northern Light x Haze |  Northern Light x Shiva |  Shiva |  Skunk #1 |  Skunk Red Hair |  Skunk Special |  Papaya |  White Rhino |  Haze 19 x Skunk |  Afghan |  Master Kush |  Northern Light |  Super Skunk |  Top 44 |  Durban Poison |  Early Bud |  Early Girl |  Early Misty |  Early Special |  Hawaii x Maui Waui |  Hawaii x Skunk #1 |  Hollands Hope |  KC 33 x Master Kush |  Mixed Sativa |  New Purple Power |  Swazi |  Swiss Miss |  Northern Bright |  Snow White (fem.) |  Supergirl |  Venus |  Wonder Woman |  Kaya |  PPP (fem.) |  Medusa |  Blue Mystic |  Chrystal |  Ice |  Misty |  PPP |  White Widow |  Nirvana Special |  White Rhino |  Snow White |  AK-48 |  Bubblelicious |  Silver Pearl |  Haze |  Jock Horror |  Northern Light x Haze |  White Rhino |  Haze 19 x Skunk |
