12/28/2011 9:22:32 AM

He should have claimed he thought they were culinary mushrooms.

12/28/2011 9:22:37 AM

^yeah, i've heard it's pretty easy to get away with. i'm sure that's not what brought them to his house in the first place.

12/28/2011 9:23:29 AM

probably partying

12/28/2011 9:29:16 AM

Who tipped them off?


Also, dumb law, and dumb to enforce. Seriously, everyone from our parents' generation did psychedelics and more.

I just think its funny that a student at a university was arrested for cultivating a mind-expanding substance.

12/28/2011 10:14:45 AM

According to the NCSU directory, he's a horticulture major. Don't know why he couldn't have just played it off as a research project or something.

...unless the cop was also a horticulture major and knew he was bullshitting.

12/28/2011 10:40:47 AM

I wonder what the chances of someone in the RPD being a horticulture major are.

12/28/2011 10:43:24 AM

They shouldn't be throwing this kid's life away for some bullshit like this. And that's coming from someone who's never done shrooms.

12/28/2011 11:25:32 AM

the plants?

and his defense is irrelevant if you sell dummy rocks on the street you get charged the same as real rock
