Daughter to Cops: Mom's Growing Pot

ROCHESTER HILLS, Mich. (WJBK) - A daughter calls police to turn in her own mother for growing marijuana.  Christina Consolo says police seized two marijuana plants from her home on Warrington in Rochester Hills.

The mother says she suffers from chronic pain and turned to marijuana when traditional medication did not help.

She tells us her 19-year-old daughter may have been concerned about her mom breaking the law. Consolo says she is working on getting the paperwork to prove she has done nothing wrong.

"They shouldn't have to go out on the street and... deal with drug dealers or other people when there's proper channels that they should be able to go to, and the reason I was growing is so I could avoid having to do that," said Christina Consolo.

The mother insists she grew the marijuana only for medical purposes.

There is no word yet from the prosecutor on possible charges.
