Man Discovers Growing Dope Can Be Hazardous
Tue Dec 16, 7:31 AM ET Add Oddly Enough – Reuters to My Yahoo!

SYDNEY (Reuters) – An Australian who called police to report thieves were trying to break into his home and steal his cannabis plants wound up getting arrested himself.

Police called to a house in Adelaide, capital of the state of South Australia just after midnight discovered four men trying to steal the plants, which were being grown in two rooms there.

They arrested the men — and the 23-year-old homeowner, who was later charged with illegally growing 16 cannabis plants.

“He was calling from underneath his bed,” a police spokesman told Reuters. “I don’t know what he was thinking. Perhaps he was smoking too much of his own product.”

  1. That’s funny but it’s a cliche that happens every day and one would think it’d be common knowledge to not call the police when you’re doing something illegal. 23 years old: newbie.

  2. Hahahaha. Cheers Yan. You know in South Australia your allowed to grow 2 plants I think. He was probably growing 18, hence 16 of them were illegal. πŸ™‚
