If you've got your iPad out, head for today's news in The Daily.

21 yr old goes out and buys seeds and all the stuff for growing pot. Then calls 911 and asks how much trouble he could get into for growing it. Of course, they track the call and show up at his house to show him how much.

For those that don't have an iPad, just made it to the NBC New York site a few minutes ago - link.

Not a very bright kid. If you're interested in knowing the penalty for breaking the law, make sure you ask BEFORE you actually go and break the law.

Also, this is what Google is for ;P

I don't know if it is the same over there as it is here, but over in the United Kingdom it is completely LEGAL to buy all the equipment to grow marijuana and also completely LEGAL to buy the seeds.
It is only ILLEGAL to put the two together.
Stupid I know but I don't make the rules lol.

Here in the ACT Australia we are allowed i think it is 2 plants now for private consumption. It use to be 4 but realised that is a heck of a lot of pot for a single person the smoke.

Everyone thinks that because this is the Countries capital that the its all for the politicians lol

What a bloody wallie to go and do that lol
He will think twice now. I cant help but wonder why he chose 911 hahahaha

I heard FOX news reporting this last night. They played a portion of his 911 call. I could be wrong but it sure sounded like he was a bit under influence.

Classic! That kind of reminds me of some of the genius' who ask:

"Are you a cop? Cause I'm not selling this to you if you are."
"No. I'm not."
"Cause if you are, and you don't tell me when I ask, then that's entrapment, and you can't arrest me."
"OK."
"So, are you a cop?"
"No."
"OK, here's the dope."
"Thanks, you are under arrest."
"Man, that's BS."
;)

actually a police officer cannot deny his posistion if he is intending on making an arrest based on the subjects answers to questions or actions. at least in illinois that is.

Good luck with that one. If you can find that in the IRC, I'd like to see it. ;)
