An Illinois man made three mistakes earlier this month, according to the St. Clair County sheriff's office.
Mistake No. 1 was calling 911 about a robbery while drunk. Mistake No. 2 was telling deputies the purloined property happened to be several marijuana plants. Mistake No. 3 was not checking to make sure the plants were really gone in the first place.
Sheriff's Lt. Steve Johnson and Deputy Al Hake were dispatched to Anthony R. Martin's home outside Belleville on Sept. 2, reports the Belleville News-Democrat.
Martin, who admitted having had a few drinks, told the officers the dastardly woman who lived next door had stolen his pot plants, and then led the lawmen to where he said they used to be.
Sadly for him, the plants were, as Johnson put it, "still there, growing in the pots."
Martin, upset, said "he was sure his neighbor had taken his plants," according to Johnson. Martin then insisted someone must have put them back.
Having recovered the property, and the evidence, the officers promptly placed Martin, 52, under arrest for possession and cultivation of marijuana, as well as for two outstanding misdemeanor warrants.
Since we are on the subject of Pot, I will share what happened to me on Monday. I watched the movie "Friday" last Friday before I went out and recorded a couple of the sound bites from the movie into my phone to play back later. One of course is Smokey telling Craig that "I know you don't get high....I know this.....but it's Friday, you ain't got no job, and you ain't got shit to do!".....the other was "c'mon, your Fcukin' up the rotation......Puff Puff Give.....Puff Puff GIVE"!!!. Well on Monday morning walking into the office, I played this "puff puff give" clip for a buddy and had put it as a ring tone so it would play in the external speaker and be heard more easily. I forgot to take it off the ring tone after playing it and had left the ring volume up full blast, walked into the Staff Meeting, and during the meeting, of course, received a call. The look on everyone's face when Smokey starts yelling "Puff Puff Give" was priceless but I did have some explainin' to do to my boss afterwards.
I'm surprised you didn't put this clip on there; "Smokey is that you, why you behind those bushes, you takin' a shit, I won't tell anyone if give $10 dollas, no, okay, (walks away screaming), Smokey's taking a shit back there." or "Slow down titto, damn".

My pothead story:
One time as I was leaving for my annual Xmas trip in Vegas with the family (we do not celebrate Xmas, we go to Vegas instead since I was 12) I always bring a little sumthin sumthin with me.
This was the Xmas directly after 9/11, so I knew security would be intense, but I wasn't carrying anything remotely dangerous, and the amount was so small, it would be a misdemeanor at best under California law. (on a sidenote: I advise every Pothead in America to know the laws of their state and get this guide: http://www.1800420laws.lawoffice.com/)
So, I just lit up before my flight from Burbank to Vegas AT BURBANK airport, right in the smokers area behind the cops at the street. I used to be so much more brazen then. My flight was delayed so I was 3 hours early. It's Xmas day so there's no one at the airport. I put my plastic Raider lighter, my glass roller, my pipe, and my film container in the pockets of my leather jacket. None of it will set off an alarm detector, so what do I have to worry about right?
As I proceed to walk through the gate, I forgot that my metal keys were still in my jacket. The TSA agent told me, if you remove the keys from your jacket, please remove your jacket and put it in the metal detector. She seemed like a nice older looking Black woman, so I smiled, and pretended not to hear her. Once again, she repeated the same statement.
And I still played dumb. Finally, she looked me in the eye and repeated it and that's when I said oh, I didn't hear you, I'm sorry as I calmly but forebodingly, removed my jacket so it could be on that X-ray tray.
I walked in, smile with her, even flirted and waited as the jacket made its way through the machine.
And I waited. And waited. I just expected that Filipino Agent to get on his CB and call security. Any minute now, and there was going to be a crowd of law enforcement agents around me.
Has anybody ever seen that skit from the Chris Rock show, the "he got weed he got weed ! one?" That's what I felt like was going to happen to me. Bunch of agents with guns drawn, dogs, yelling and me spread eagle on the floor.
As the leather jacket reached the other side of the ramp, the Filipino agent grabbed the jacket, folded it nicely and handed it to me. I put my belt on, grabbed my loose change and my keys still expecting an onslaught of agents . . . but nothing. Nothing at all.
I even went to the waiting area still looking back waiting for something. Nothing at all. Hell the glass pipe I was carrying was at least 4 inches long and I'm sure the X ray machine can see something organic in a film container.
Nothing at all. Wheewww!
Now if you travel, I recommend that you put it in your socks and keep the roller and pipe in your check in luggage.
I'm surprised you didn't put this clip on there; "Smokey is that you, why you behind those bushes, you takin' a shit, I won't tell anyone if give $10 dollas, no, okay, (walks away screaming), Smokey's taking a shit back there." or "Slow down titto, damn".
I got that one too.....gotta love Ezel saying,"Smokey, you've been eatin' corn huh"?
gamma: I could only imagine you waiting there, paranoid from the chronic, thinkin' that $hit.....
