Cannabis Granny vows to keep cooking

Patricia Tabram, the 66 year old grammy who was busted for cooking with cannabis can no longer save her pension money by growing her own but has kept her cannabis cooking circle alive by delegating procurement of the herb to other members of her little group and using other kitchens to prepare her dishes. She tells the Hexham Courant "As well as myself, the group consists of three women who suffer from multiple sclerosis and a man who has terrible arthritis. We all feel the benefits of eating cannabis."

She has strong reasons for continuing to risk further incurring legal charges.
Suffering from a multitude of ailments that strike the elderly, she tells us after embarking on a cannabis regime, "I have been pain-free, pill-free and my hearing aid is redundant. I have also gone from smoking 20 cigarettes a day down to six a week." I assume she means tobacco there.

It's clear why she would continue risking her freedom for the plant. What doesn't make sense is that she was ever arrested in the first place.
