Cancer sufferer, 60, sentenced for having cannabis she used to fight pain

A 60-year-old woman with Stage Four lung cancer who put cannabis in her food to ease the pain has been sentenced to a six month community order. Heather Kennedy admitted possessing cannabis with intent to supply it and being concerned in the supply of it to her husband and a son.

Prosecutor Alexandra Carrier said police conducted a search of Kennedy's home in Cae Mawr in Llandudno on March 25 last year. The defendant was there with her granddaughter. Ms Carrier said Kennedy told an officer: "I've got cannabis. I'm not going to lie."

Police found bags with "Bob Marley" logos down the side of a sofa. The search continued and the officers discovered cannabis worth a total of £370, along with £205 in cash and two mobile phones, reports NorthWalesLive.
