(NEWSER) Who needs grow lights? A couple in Bedfordshire, England, picked up a cute little plant at market and lovingly tended it as it grew into a lush plant in the garden, reports CNN. That's when it drew the attention of police, who tweeted a photo of it with the caption, "Elderly couple bought shrub at car boot sale ... biggest cannabis plant we had seen!!" Police seized the pot plant and won't press charges. An elderly farmer in Germany had a similar experience recently.

(17,863 posts)Growing pot plants or making beer (or even whiskey) should be nobody else's business except your own. I would even extend that to meth etc. if safety precautions are in place so neighbors aren't blown up.
Now selling it - that is another thing.

(5,198 posts)--it makes for magnificent shrubbery!! That is one beautiful plant--it's funny and sad at the same time that this was grown in complete innocence.

A shame they can't be used for landscaping, because they're nearly indestructible as well.
