A GRANDMOTHER who grew 44 cannabis plants in her Hurstbridge flat has received a one-month suspended sentence.

 

Michelle Gervasi, 54, claimed the marijuana was for medical use when she pleaded guilty in Heidelberg Magistrates' Court to one charge of illegally cultivating a narcotic plant, the Diamond Valley Leader reports.

 

The court heard police found 42 cannabis seedlings growing hydroponically in the bathroom and another two in a wardrobe in a search of the unemployed woman's Department of Human Services flat at Hurst Cottages in Anzac Ave.

 

They also found a variety of drug paraphernalia.

 

Defence lawyer Nicola Pachinger told the court Gervasi was growing the drug for personal use to treat a variety of health problems, including chronic depression, osteoporosis, lupus and irritable bowel syndrome.
