I hope the woman gets herself a good lawyer and sues the porkers blue. She
certainly could use the money.

Too bad she wasn't growing starter tomato and pepper plants under
fluorescent lights too. They might have claimed they were a new type of
marijuana.

There have been stories about orchid growers being busted by over-anxious
police because they were propagating their plants under fluorescent lights
and the cops weren't bright enough to distinguish rare plants from pot.

CARLSBAD, Calif. - When police noticed Dina Dagy's family was spending
$250
to $300 a month on electricity, they suspected a marijuana farm was
flourishing under high-intensity lights inside their suburban home.

What they found when they showed up with a drug-sniffing dog and a search
warrant was a wife and mother who does several loads of laundry a day,
keeps a dishwashing machine going, has three electricity-guzzling
computers
and three kids who can't remember to turn the lights out when they leave a
room.
