MEDICAL USER ARRESTED FOR GROWING POT
TORONTO -- A wheelchair-bound medical marijuana user has been charged for
growing 10 marijuana plants in her Kemptville home.
Margaret Harrington, 51, said she had applied for a grower's licence but it
had not yet arrived by the time the Ontario Provincial Police came to her
house about another matter. When an officer picked up the fresh scent of
marijuana wafting from her basement, she showed her Health Canada card
allowing her to possess marijuana but couldn't produce the grower's permit.
She was charged with "unlawfully produced substance" and will appear in
court May 4.
