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.
