Izzy Armstrong's drug storyline on Coronation Street only kicked off this week, but already it looks like the choice to use cannabis for pain relief will be getting her in trouble with the police.
Scenes on Friday (February 12) saw newcomer Erica Holroyd (Claire King) offer Izzy (Cherylee Houston) some marijuana to ease the pain she's been feeling since dislocating her hip.
Izzy has the connective tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome but as her painkillers are no longer working, she takes Erica up on her offer, and new reports in The Mirror suggest that this decision will see the police come knocking.
According to the sources, Izzy is about to face arrest as the storyline, which aims to raise the debate of using cannabis as pain relief, progresses.

A Corrie source told the paper: "It's a difficult subject and the scenes are likely to divide opinion. Many viewers will have sympathy for her plight, especially those with experience of severe pain.
"Izzy only turns to drugs as a last resort. But with the police involved she could be in serious trouble. Hopefully it will spark a debate."
The ITV soap will continue to explore this storyline as Izzy's decision goes on to have a subsequent effect on her family.
