    What would really be crazy if his name was David Marijuana and he was growing mayo.

    So if he's just growing it for personal use, how did he manage to get busted? I mean, I'm assuming if you are keeping it quiet, and not bragging around about it, nothing should lead to an investigation, right? Then again, more than 20 plants would sustain an individual for quite some time.

    My guess is he told the wrong person, who got in some hot water and ratted him out. Just a guess.

    I worked with someone in the early 1980s whose house was burglarized -- they took the TV -- and she called the cops, somehow forgetting about the pot forest growing in her backyard. The cops, well, they noticed. It was a brief in the paper. I would surmise that it was all indeed for personal use.

    I have a terrible green thumb, so I couldn't grow pot if I tried.

    Same here. I have to buy plastic marijuana plants.

    Something tells me they wouldn't smoke quite as well.

    Electric bills. If you have a grow operation, even a small one, in your basement, the lights are going to make your electricity bill spike. I believe cops use that all the time as probable cause, which is sore of insane.

    It's true. The copes are always knocking at my door because the kids will never flick off a light.

    Wouldn't they need a subpoena for that?

    According to the fourth paragraph, he's a shapeshifterr. He turned himself into the Kent County Jail!

    Wish I would've been there for that.
