A single mum who claimed she used cannabis to medicate herself and calm her nerves was told “self-medication does not exist” by a judge.
Kayley Baker, 35, was arrested when police raided her family home in Anfield, Liverpool after a tip-off and found 1g of the drug.
Baker, a school cleaner with two previous warnings about her use of cannabis, had kept it in a jar by her bed and claimed she suffered anxiety due to being in an abusive relationship.
