Teen swipes tomato plant he thought was marijuana

17 Feb 2012 17:15:42 GMT

The first rule of stealing someone's marijuana plant is "don't run past their house yelling 'I have one of your pot plants!'" The second rule is "make sure you didn't swipe a tomato plant instead." According to the Daytona Beach News-Journal, an unnamed teen (and, we're guessing, first-time thief) broke both rules when he climbed through Angela Cartwright's window and mistook her "Walmart tomatoes" for weed. Cartwright called the cops when she spotted him at a bus stop five days later. "I gave him the 'mother lecture'," she said. "I told him he should be in school." Like maybe in a botany class?

wait......I thought this is where you comment on the actual article above?......you know...... the one about the kid who stole the tomato plant, thinking it was a pot plant. I must have got lost somewhere along the way and posted in the " I got nuttin better to do then bitch and gripe about unrelated sh*t site". If that's your thing.... check out craigslist under "Rants & Raves" they welcome your  verbal tantrums......in fact they encourage it! Hey ....... while you're there, why not check out the casual encounters section and find some other "release" for your pent up aggressions.

Okay, before spring hits, I gotta see if the neighbors in 17 will make a deal with me: They get fresh tomatoes if their Cockapoo barks threateningly (as he possibly can) at anyone who lurks at the metal-pole-hanging tomato plant containers!

People get all soap boxy on this stuff, because 90% of the population are sheeple and generally mean spirited. Majority of us are not happy and cast stones to try and alleviate their pain. It's really not that complicated. It's nice to run across the kind, good souls in the world...but the sad truth is that there aren't many of them. If you find one, grab a hold of them and keep them close to you...and know that you are one of the lucky one's. Oh yeah, and Marijuana is the silver bullet that will rectify our economy, cut down on violence, and get our prison's back to what they should be for...criminals, not light substance user's. The most dangerous thing about Marijuana, is getting caught with Marijuana. Stop the hate, enjoy your life...it's not a practice run.
