She had prepared the drug-laced butter to help deal with a sleeping disorder, the April 19 court hearing heard, according to a report in the Adelaide Advertiser.
The teenager, who has not been identified, woke up the great-grandmother to ask to use the cannabis butter for some muffins, the court was reportedly told.

Magistrate Justin Wickens said it was “somewhat concerning” that the elderly defendant knew the teen would share the muffins with friends.
“As it turns out, it went to school, which is unfortunate but that is not something that was in your client’s mind at the time,” he was quoted as saying.
