Student Busted for Cell Phone Shots of His Pot Plants
If you needed any more proof that smoking pot turns your brain cells to dust, consider this morning's UPI story of an Italian university student who recently used his cell phone to snap a picture of himself standing proudly in front of his crop of marijuana plants. The student was so pleased with the photo that he made it his cell phone's wallpaper background, allowing him to show off his anti-establishment cred to anyone who cared to look. But, that bravado would come back to bite the unnamed student in the ass when he misplaced his fanny pack, which contained the phone. And yes, we said 'fanny pack.'
The pack and its contents were found by a good Samaritan and turned over to the police. Of course, when the cops saw the picture on the cell phone they tracked the student down and asked him about it. Unfortunately, his stick-it-to-the-man attitude was but a facade. He quickly crumbled, admitted to growing the marijuana plants and led police right to them, after which he was promptly arrested.
We could warn you to be careful about what you photograph with your cell phone, but that's not the real lesson here. The lesson to this story is, simply: Don't be an idiot.

If he had the shots it means he had the pot. How come some student has the possibilities of growing pot?

That guy should be awarded with a fake diploma award for being the best photograph in the world.

Ah, youth. I'm glad I didn't have the option to post my idiotic ideas of being cool on the internet when I was young and dumb(er). Now I'm trying to convince my daughter to clean up her MySpace profile because prospective employers really do check out internet postings.

stupid bastard.......... Did he think that he had to take the cops to his plants...... This was obviously an amateur and an ignorant one at that. He deserves to get locked up. Next time he might not be so careless.
VictoriaSep 13th 2007 7:55AM
What an idiot! He was stupid to grow the stuff and even stupidier to take photos. He deserves to go to jail.

That's why they say "don't get high with your own supply"

Who titles these stories? Seriously, don't you have to have a journalism degree to produce journalism? For the last time (I mean it) marijuana does NOT kill brain cells. It produces a layer of fat around the synapse, inhibiting the electrical currents that allow your brain to "communicate" with itself. IF you stop smoking pot, guess what??? The fat goes away. And the synapse returns to normal. Don't believe everything "they" tell you. Live your own life..just don't take pictures of it.

"That's why they say 'don't get high with your own supply'"
only an idiot would say that. did you ever think a lot of people grow their own so they won't hafta smoke the schwag off the street that you obviously smoke?
btw, this guy is an idiot. real growers leave no evidence behind but there's one in every bunch as the saying goes.
