WOMAN RUNNING MEDICAL POT CLUB BUSTED

Cops Raid Grandmother's Home; Push Renewed For Legal Drug Use

A 65-year-old Elmira grandmother faces criminal charges after police raided her apartment and confiscated three pounds of pot she was planning to distribute through her medical marijuana buyers club.

Sherrie D.  Wilkie, who suffers chronic pain from arthritis and other ailments, said she started the buyers club in 1998 and began making regular trips to New York City to buy pot for about a dozen other Twin Tiers residents who use marijuana as medicine.
